Igbo Household Formation

A marries two women (B and C) each of who is given a hut in separate parts of the compound,
where she raises her children.

B and C' sons marry and bring in wives (J,K,L,M,N,O) each of whom is assigned her own hut.

In the next generation, J and L's sons marry, and each new wife (P,Q,R,S) gets assigned a new hut.
