Other Information:

Two of the nobles in this image, Abula-wa-Gilo and Anyoonya-wa-Thomo, are mentioned on page 117 of E. E. Evans-Pritchard's The Political System of the Anuak of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (monographs on Social Anthropology no.4, London School of Economics, 1940). It is uncertain where Por-wa-Ngeenyo resided, but the possibility is that he lived in Kinha with Abula, and was therefore a noble of the Jowatong clan. [Chris Morton 5/1/2004]
