The following are some of the house-names of families living in Nellore, Sriharikota, Tada, and Kambakam:-- (a) Manchi Yanadis-- Bandi, cart. Chembetti, hammer. Chilakala, paroquet. Dhoddi, sheep-fold. Igala, house-fly. Enthodu, a village. Illa, of a house. Kathtlula, sword. Kanur, a village. Kotlu, cow-shed. Mekala, goat. Manikala, measure. Pamula, snake. Tenkayala, cocoanut. Totla, garden. Tupakala, gun. Udamala, water-lizard. Jandayi, flag. Marrigunta, pond near a fig-tree. (b) Challa Yanadi-- Nerigi Mekala, a kind of goat. Elugu, bear. Thirlasetti, name of a Balija Chetti. All these names represent exogamous septs. In every case, the house-name was known only to old men and women, and they, as a rule, did not know the house-names of their neighbours or relations. Many of the names are derived from villages, or persons of other castes, on whose land they may live, and are probably new names adopted instead of the original ones. For the purpose of their register, Forest officers invent prefixes by which Yanadis with the same family name can be distinguished, e.g., Kee Chenchugadu, Permadu Budthagadu, to distinguish them from other Chenchugadus, and Budthagadus. The same practice is resorted to by planters, who give "estate names" to their coolies. Yanadis will not eat with Madigas or Paraiyans, and observe some principle in partaking of the refuse of the table. Thus, for a Chinna Yanadi to eat the refuse of the Mondis, Oddes, or Yerukalas, would involve excommunication, which is always pronounced by a Balija Chetti, whose decision is final and binding. Restoration to caste can be secured by undergoing a personal ordeal, by giving a feast, and promising good behaviour in the future. The ordeal takes the form of scalding of the tongue with hot gold by the Balija Chetti. It is curious that there has recently grown up a tendency for members of other castes to join the Yanadi community. There are instances of barbers, weavers, fishermen, and even Komatis being admitted into the Yanadi fold. The headman, who goes by the name of Kulampedda or Pedda Yanadi, exercises general social control over a group, known as a guddem, ordinarily of about twenty huts. He decides social questions, sometimes on his own responsibility, by excommunicating or fining; sometimes acting on the advice of a council of his castemen. Until quite recently, the tribe remained under the guidance of a hereditary leader of Sriharikota, who wielded immense power. The Paraiyans have risen superior to the Yanadis as a community, supplying among themselves their own artisans, weavers, carpenters, barbers, priests, teachers, etc., while the Yanadis are only just beginning to move in this direction. The language of the Yanadis is Telugu, but some words are compounds of Telugu and Tamil, e.g., artichedi for plantain, pandikutti for pig.
