N. Appell examines the relationship between the Rungus domestic developmental cycle and residence. Uxorilocal residence is usually the first choice for newlyweds. A couple may move to the husband's village after the birth of several children, creating a pattern of bilocal residence. Average stay in a long-house is three years. Residence does not activate any permanent rights to land. Choice of residence is influenced by the pull of kin, the mother-daughter tie being the strongest, according to Appell. After the mother's death a couple and their family may be pulled to the husband' s family long-house and village. Another important factor is the allocation of labor. The women's long-house group provides childcare for young children, whereas older male children form work groups in the swiddens.}, note = {G. N.
