In Burungian society, each individual belongs to a broad group known as an ''yenu'' "tribe", largely defined by adherence to a particular chief and worship of a tutelary deity. Within that tribe they belong to a family group called an ''as'' "clan", the members of which claim matrilineal descent from a pair of common ancestors known as the ''atasho'' (male) and ''amasho'' (female). A person belonging to the same clan is called a ''beraako'', whilst anyone beyond the clan group is an ''ase''. | In Burungian society, each individual belongs to a broad group known as an ''yenu'' "tribe", largely defined by adherence to a particular chief and worship of a tutelary deity.
