Engu Draal

Relatively few Engu choose to stay as sempa for many seasons and those that do are expected to stay back in the villages to look after the young, while the kopa will go out in their boats on dangerous hunts for the great droba that swim off the coastline. While the hunts are purely for those kopa who have proved themselves, Kapas will sometimes allow the more dominant sempa to join them as draals when responding to Dhogu raids or fending off devanu who have ventured north of the Naralon Forests.

Draal literally means fishwife, and is derogatory. The Engu are a bit sexist / ageist / stageist. Those who choose to remain in the sempa lifestage and stay home with the kids are thought of as cowards.
