What historical relation the clan hitcak'j-ro bears to the individual hitcako-ro relation of individuals, it is impossible to state, but the remarks made before are pertinent here, and no genetic relationship need be postulated. The ''Servant'" Relationship. The hitcak'D-ro relation is entirely one between equals, irrespective of the inequality... of one member of this grouping, with regard to the other, in social standing.
