Article 10. Avoidance of the wife's mother A man must avoid his wife's mother (yumari / wurrumparra). He must not address her directly and must not remain with her in one enclosed place. The wife's mother is the woman whose class, under the mother–child cycle, is the mother of the wife's class. This restatement does not fix the wording of avoidance speech. It records the prohibition of direct address and of enclosed co-presence.

Article 3. Dual moieties The eight subsections form two patri-moieties of father–son pairs. The first patri-moiety contains Japanangka with Japangardi, and Jungarrayi with Japaljarri. The second patri-moiety contains Jampijinpa with Jangala, and Jupurrurla with Jakamarra. Marriage is contracted across the two patri-moieties, not within one moiety.

Jangala marries Nungarrayi (class Jungarrayi). Jupurrurla marries Napanangka (class Japanangka). Jakamarra marries Napaljarri (class Japaljarri). The reverse pairing is the same preferred marriage read from the woman's side.

Article 5. Alternate marriage A man of a given subsection may contract an alternate marriage with a woman of a second determined subsection of the opposite patri-moiety. Japanangka's alternate wife-class is Jangala (Nangala). Japangardi's alternate wife-class is Jakamarra (Nakamarra). Jungarrayi's alternate wife-class is Jupurrurla (Napurrurla). Japaljarri's alternate wife-class is Jampijinpa (Nampijinpa). Jampijinpa's alternate wife-class is Japaljarri (Napaljarri). Jangala's alternate wife-class is Japanangka (Napanangka). Jupurrurla's alternate wife-class is Jungarrayi (Nungarrayi). Jakamarra's alternate wife-class is Japangardi (Napangardi). Alternate marriage is permitted and is not preferred. A child of an alternate marriage takes the subsection that the mother's class assigns; the father's father–son cycle need not agree.

Article 6. Wrong-skin marriage A union of a man and a woman that is neither preferred nor alternate is a wrong-skin marriage. Wrong-skin marriage is forbidden. The prohibition does not compute a penalty. Sanction in living practice is a matter for the community; this restatement records the prohibition, not a tariff of spearing or exile.
