Burma image, WAA0166. [Kachins roofing the house.] (Researcher's notes in brackets)
"The houses have no particular orientation. The Duwa [chief] has ordinarily the best site in the midst of his subjects. His house, called the 'tingnu', is usually a very long one and can be identified by the sun and moon outside the front porch. The Hkahku house is in most respects similar to the Kachin house but is on a larger scale. The biggest house I saw was in Tingnan village. It was 110 yards long and contained nineteen fireplaces." [dissertation, 1934:73-74]
