<i>What a Maiden must eat and avoid (L II.-28. 2520-2524). How a New Maiden is treated, has been told in the Katkop dialect, by !kwéiten ta ||ken (L VI.-2. 3997-4003); who also narrates the use made by Bushman Maidens of a kind of red stone (L VI.-1. 3970-3974).</i> Maidens paint and adorn young men so that the rain and its lightning will not harm them out on the hunting-ground.
