Manunúnod ug Kabilin
(Heir and Inheritance)
Pasiuna
Sa walâ pa modangat ang mga Katsila dinhi sa atong kapupúd-an aduna na kitay atong
kaugalingon nga mga batasan nga gituman.
Sa dihang ang mga Katsilà na ang namunóan, ug labi na gayod ang mga Amerikano, ang
atong mga sulsog (tradition) ug pamatasan gipugos nga mausab aron mohaom sa mga pamatasan
sa mga langyaw.
Bisan pa og walâ masulat sa atong mga balaod nga gipatuman sa mga langyaw, aduna pay
daghan sa atong kaliwatan nga nagtamod sa batasan nga ang kamanghuran nga igsuon mao ang
makapanunód sa balay tungod kay ang kamanghuran man ang adunay kaakohan nga mobaton sa
tigulang nga ginikanan.
Kun ang tugasalig (authority) ug pagtahod (respect) ang pagahisgotan, kasagaran kanatò
nagasunod pa sa suhát (primogeniture) o ang kamagulangan ang mangulo sa banay.
Atong tukibon karon ang mga lugpong (terms) kabahin sa manununod ug kabilin. Atong
unahon ang Binisayâ ug atong isugisayod (define) sa Ininglis.
