Description:		Translation (Tu Hkawng) A long time ago, in a village, many of the Kachin people did not reproduce as many children, only a few families gave birth to many children in the mountainous areas. In one village, a Lahtaw clan lived. In that family, there was only one girl, but it had many boys. The girl was asked to marry by other people. After she was proposed to, the man married their sister, but the brother-in-law was very poor and could not afford to pay dowry. However, the man said he would give a bull that had one-fifth of the horn to each of his brothers-in-law. Then, their sister's husband kept on saying that he would give each bull to all his brothers-in-law as a dowry. Thus, one day, the siblings-brothers of wife said, "Each of us will get a bull as our sister's dowry, so we should go together to our patrilocal family if everyone goes alone, it is difficult to catch the bull; that is why, we should go together to get our sister's dowry, and also it is easier for us to catch them. Then, they all went together to the patrilocal family. When they arrived at the patrilocal house, there was only one bull. Their brother-in-law said, "It is only one bull, this is the bull, and you do not have to go to the jungle to catch it, and it is a raised bull. Then, he also said, "This is the bull that I want to give you (matrilocal family), after that his brother-in-law said, "You said, each of us will get one bull; now we are many people, how are we going to bring back this bull." Anyhow, "This is the bull that I want to give my matrilocal family," he said. Then, they said, "If you do not have any more, we cannot do anything," so let us pull back this bull, and after that, we will try to do so. "As the patrilocal family gives us as our sister's dowry, let us bring it home", then they arrived at one mountain, it is still a bit far from their homes which is required to travel one day one night long. When they arrived at a mountain where their sister got married, one of them said, "Um...we (siblings) are many, and we only got one bull, if we want to slaughter and share, we must do it at one place. If we bring it back, no one can take it home, and no one can slaughter and eat alone too. Thus, let us sleep and slaughter the bull at this mountain, and let us all eat together with joy as our sister's dowry." However, they did not have any kitchen utensils as they were in the jungle, so when they slaughtered the bull they gouged the bull's skin with knives, and then they tied the skin with ropes and stretched out and made a fire under the skin. They used the skin as a pot, then they chopped the meat and cooked it. Before the meat was not cooked yet, the stretching ropes were cut off because of the fire. Then, their skin-pot was spilt out, and some of them picked the meat and put it back in the skin pot, some were only eating, some were only just looking for whether someone may give them the meat, and some gave them a few pieces of meat. Then, those who only got a few pieces of meat called them "Maji Wa ''. Someone said, "I had picked and eaten disorderly." Then, they called him "Lasha Wa". Someone said, " I was expected to share the meat equally, then picked up and put back the meat into the pot." Hence, they called him "Dabang Wa". Someone said, "You guys do not care about it." Then, they called him "Ginraw Wa". As a result, the "Dabang", "Maji", "Lasha" and "Ginraw," all surnames are "Marip" clan. In that way, the Marip clan was divided into small groups, and it was the origin of the division, and now you are also "Dabnag, it is a surname. I am also Marip, but my sub-clan is "Marip Sumlut", so I am more closed to the "Zi clan". The Marip history was started after they had only one sister and shared the bull of the sister's dowry, and then they got surnames after they slaughtered and shared the food. Someone who waited for the meal, then they called him "La", someone who put back the meat, then they called him "Dabang", someone who received a few pieces of meat, then they called him "Maji", someone who only ate the meat, then they called him "Lasha", and also the "Ginraw" surname was also Marip clan. This is how the Marip clan got their surnames after they had only one sister and ate a dowry bull together. It was enough, and you can retell it.
