Next, the three "tribal" subgroups are distinguished (the Karaj{\'a} proper, the Javah{\'e} ({\v{S}}avaj{\'e}), and the Shambio{\'a} ({\v{S}}ambio{\'a}), indicating for each their nomenclature, location, and distribution. The Karaj{\'a} proper are subdivided into North and South hordes, manifesting a degree of cultural difference. Regarding social organization, information is presented on the role of village chiefs, legal norms and sanctions, status distinctions, forms of greeting, and inter-tribal relations involving trade, warfare, and the treatment of captives. A highlight is the pattern of inter-village relations in which a visit must commence with a wrestling match between the men of the two villages. Some aspects of the life cycle are also covered, including marriage, sex, family relations, pregnancy and birth, the care, activities and status of children, and death and burial. Additional data are given on population, settlement patterns and settlement plans, the subsistence economy and food patterns, trade and exchange transactions, division of labor, technology and crafts, magic, sorcery, magical therapy, folk medicine and morbidity, and Karaj{\'a} knowledge and opinions of a number of surrounding tribes.}, note = {Fritz Krause}, note = {also included in fiche collection E12; LOC search performed 5 March 2009; reviewed by MAS 10/9/14; page headers revised added 5/23/2018 LGD; cited in CS as Portuguese translation, found in Biblioteca Digital Curt Nimuendaj{\'u}, http://www.etnolinguistica.org/bib:0773 : KRAUSE, Fritz.
