The Book of Taboo


 * Iskjus thanked the otter dearly and made his way home. It is because of this that to this day, the Sumnė always throw some food to a snow bunting when they see one, and it is their custom to thank an otter whenever they come across one.
 * Since the Sumnë hold the belief that the power of language is a divine gi of great importance, they see the vörrcö themselves as sacred creatures, such so that it is taboo to hunt them. It is believed that hunting a vörr ö will result in the punishment of losing the ability to speak. Maawatarraa is very fond of his language-possessing bulls and will punish any creature that dare hunt them by tearing out the tongue with his sharp talon
 * It is for this that one must never go whaling on an anniversary of having been given a name. Anyone who dares this will be plagued by forgetfulness.
