Actual Bwoti Memberships |

| Eight individuals have sorted themselves out into 6 bwoti through the alternatives of belonging to their father's group (cases 2,3,5,6) or their mother's (cases 1,4,7,8). The situation can be even more complicated since people can activitate claims based on more remote ancestors and may switch membership. |
