Our research and studies have been done in the area of Hot, which has been geographically separated since 1913, but indivisible as an fraternity-tribe and ethnicity. The time dimension is defined, c. XX, especially the second part, until the beginning of the XXI century, following the chronological progress of the engagement ceremony.
