In Gogni (Chad) a Sokoro, clad in his traditional tunic, a tunic as long as a raglan coat such as a snobbishly insular Parisian might sport whilst on safari, paid a visit to a son of his who was living in Mokulu as a willing victim of an unusual (and, until now, unknown) marital status constituting a paradoxical - or, as anthropologists say, "uxorilocal" - form of subjugation.

This grammar is just what one would expect from an SIL-trained linguist who has specialized in a language for a number of years: it contains a great deal of information in relatively few pages. The introduction begins by ubicating the Desano people and providing a very brief set of ethnographic comments. They live on the Vaupés River in Colombia, are patrilineal, and have a sex-gendered language. There is some uxorilocal residence, though its frequency is not estimated.
