pp. 78 _sq._; E. Dannert, _Zum Rechte der Herero_, p. 5. According to
Meyer (_l.c._) and E. Dannert (_Zum Rechte der Herero_, p. 5), if the
chief’s eldest daughter marries, the duty of tending the fire passes
to his eldest wife. This statement is at variance with all the other
testimony on the subject, and for reasons which will appear presently
I regard it as improbable. At least it can hardly represent the
original custom.
