1 The Ifugao goes to extremes in hedging access to the woman he has taken from the agamang group and married by enforcing an exaggerated sanctity of his dwelling. That is to say, the super-freedom of the agamang entails a super-"sanctity" of the home of a pair. It is a good illustration of the unity of opposites.

2 The woman in this case, as women frequently of all races, seems to have been motivated by a desire to enjoy the excitement of being the centre of a controversy and at the same time gain notoriety for her propriety and virtue. It was probably a good thing for Ngídulu that she was absent when this conversation took place.
