hnub...
no..that's not what i meant...from the traditional view...it is what i
explained before...but that only pertains to getting a table for
man...and
women...separately....cov txiv neej muaj ib lub
rooj...cov
pojniam muaj ib lub...
this obseration however, deals with men/women together, side by
side.... have you been or seen a table where men drink and make fun
and laugh and get drunk? some of the time, it is disgusting.
my observation can be true...primiarily on the fact that most of hmong
"taboo" revolves around sexual act or sexual initation.
1. cov hmoob faj cov nyab tuav candles near the corpse....and are not
allowed to go anywhere tom ntees...this taboo has a story...a sexual
story is involved...so cov laus banned cov nyab to only remain near
the corpse and nowhere else.
2. cov caiv txaj....nyab mus tsi tau hauv tus father lub chav...same
thing....txiv hlob mus tsi tau hauv niam ntxawm chaw...same thing...
3. nyab hla tsi tau tu father xub ntiag tom qhov cub...same thing..
4. noj tsi tau qaub saum rooj mov...
