Burma image, WAP0034. Two Padaung girls and one man, standing and exchanging yeps.
A yep was a container for holding betel nut for chewing. It was common practice to exchange or offer betel as a greeting when meeting friends. "Before a Padaung man begins courtship he goes to the parents of the chosen girl and asks permission to visit the house and pay attentions to their daughter with a view to marriage. This ceremonious procedure is unusual among the hill tribes. It is not a whirlwind affair; on the contrary, the suitor's visits are carried on over a period which may be three months or may reach two years. Even then the young man chooses a friend with plausible and affable manners to get the consent first of the parents and then of the girl, and finally to ascertain what presents would be acceptable to the damsel's parents." ['Burma and Beyond', Sir J. G. Scott, London, 1932, pp.101-102]
