As a result, a taboo exists such that descendants of Bey Ki’ik and those of Bey Ke’et are not allowed to marry each other. Another result is that members of the Bey Ronghang clan are not allowed to grind rice for rice beer, because in mythological times, the Bey Ronghang women kept grinding rice for rice beer without doing anything else--even forgetting to breast-feed their children, who then died from starvation.

Nazneen seems interested in this and keenly observes his writing while making a video of him. She asks a few questions to Safwan and directs him.
