Description

A view of a Luo homestead (dala) in Uyoma village with grass thatch houses (ot (pl. udi)) and grain storage granaries (dero pl. dere). The homestead seems to be a new one as it only has a thorn shrub fence, and the typical euphorbia fence (ojuok) takes a long time to grow. [Gilbert Oteyo 9/9/2004]
