The tribe is apparently divided into five sections, called Bodo (big) or Gutob, Parenga, Olaro, Kaththiri or Kaththara, and Kapu. Of these, the last two are settled in the plains, and say that they are Bodo and Olaro Gadabas who migrated thither from the hills. As among the Gadabas, so among the Savaras, there is a section which has settled on the plains, and adopted Kapu as its name. In the Madras Census Report, 1891, nearly a thousand Gadabas are returned as belonging to the Chenchu sub-division. Chenchu is the name of a separate jungle tribe in the Telugu country, and I have been unable to confirm the existence of a Chenchu sub-division among the Gadabas. In the Madras Census Report, 1871, Mr. H. G. Turner states that "very much akin to the Gadabas are a class called Kerang Kapus. They will not admit any connexion with them; but, as their language is almost identical, such gainsaying cannot be permitted them. They are called Kerang Kapu from the circumstance of their women weaving cloths, which they weave from the fibre of a jungle shrub called Kerang (Calotropis gigantea)." Mr. H. A. Stuart remarks [128] that "the Kapu Gadabas are possibly the Kerang Kapus mentioned by Mr. Turner as akin to the Gadabas, for I find no mention of the caste under the full name of Kerang Kapu, nor is Kerang found as a sub-division of either Kapu or Gadaba." Writing concerning the numeral system of the Kerang Kapus, Mr. Turner observes that it runs thus: Moi, Umbar, Jugi, O, Malloi, Turu, Gu, Tammar, Santing, Goa, and for eleven (1 and following numbers), they prefix the word Go, e.g., Gommoi, Gombaro, etc. The Kerang Kapus can count up to nineteen, but have no conception of twenty. According to Mr. W. Francis, the only tribe on the hills which has this system of notation is the Bonda Poraja. The Gadabas have very similar names for the first five numerals; but, after that, lapse into Oriya, e.g., sat, at, no, das, etc. The Bonda Poraja numerals recorded by Mr. Francis are muyi, baar, gii, oo, moloi, thiri, goo, thamam, and so on up to nineteen, after which they cannot count. This system, as he points out, agrees with the one described by Mr. Turner as belonging to the Kerang Kapus. The Gutob Gadaba numerals recorded by Mr. C. A. Henderson include muititti (1 + a hand), and martitti (2 + a hand).
