While he was sitting here with some men of the Crest, with some leaders, he said to them, with his one
leg crossed over the other, "I'm going to go in there [to Piti Valley], rip off a cow from Gurbek the Jâshi,
and come back. |
|
[RS] ^jâša gurbek to ste. |
[RS] From Gurbek the Jâshi. |

[FK] ^jâša âšta, `nâ˜i â? `pitikal `suanti ^jâša âi. |
[FK] They were Jâshi, right? In Piti Valley there were all Jâshi then. |

[GU] Gurbek the Jâshi was a warrior in Piti Valley then. |

So then, among those men, those warriors [with whom Gutkech was sitting] there was a friend of Gurbek
the Jâshi here [in Kom Community]. He said, "Gurbek the Jâshi has fought nine wars with the king of
Chitral. You can't rip anything off from him. He'll trash you. Don't go." |

He swore an oath to it and went. He went from here to Piti Valley. He went to Piti Valley, and there's a
place there called Unreachable Stream, that was Gurbek the Jâshi's place. He arrived while [Gurbek]
was sitting there. He spent the night in Piti Valley, and then in the morning he said to Gurbek, "Bring a
cow out of the stable; I'm going. |
|
"`go `kâa ^râqâm? di gâanša. `kâa kti `gâanša? goa˜. |
"Cow? What kind of cow are you taking? How are you taking cows?" |

"Just bring out the cow, right? I'm taking it. However I take it." |

"Well, if you're taking it by force, there are the cows, there you are, so take it, why don't you." |

So he went by himself down to the stable, opened the door, drove the cows out, and took them away.
After he had gone a little bit, Gurbek took his sword and attacked him from behind. Gurbek went and
caught up to Rich Woman's Gutkech. He caught up, and when he raised his sword, the other one
became aware that he was going to be struck. As he ducked his head his ear was hit right here and
sliced off right down to the base. He reached down and grabbed his ear and hustled back out and up to
Kom Community, leaving the cows behind there. |

When he got back to Kom Community they killed sixty billy-goats and had a huge funeral feast for that
ear. They tied it up on a bier for three days at the cemetery, and then ... |

[RS] The ear? |

[FK] Yes. Then they sat to discuss the terms of peace. Then the people of Kom Community here, our
people, found a path into Piti Valley. |
|

"If he's going to give you cows [in compensation for the ear], don't take cows. Let's get land, when they
fix a blood price. We should get land for the blood price of the ear," the Kom agreed. "We should get
an inroad there." |
|

So they sat down for peace talks, right? They sat down and then ... |

[FK] They sat down for peace talks. They're making peace, right? The men. They sat down for peace
talks. They sat down and made peace between the men, and fixed the blood compensation at a valley
there from Divine Place Farms on down to Poato Scaffold. When the compensation was fixed Rich
Woman's Gutkech was given sixty cows. After he made peace with Gurbek the Jâshi, Rich Woman's
Gutkech went into Piti Valley there. That's the way it was. |

[FK] Then little by little, the valley became the Koms', right? It started off as one man's; then he found
some friends, and then somebody bought some land, and so on and so forth, and little by little the people
became many. And then the Jâshi got fewer and the Kom got more and more. Then the Jâshi kept
disappearing, and the Kom kept getting greater. The Jâshi kept disappearing, and the Kom kept
getting greater. It kept going like that; some of the Jâshi died off, and some of them fled, and the Kom
gained power. The Kom became many. Now there are only four or five Jâshi remaining; the rest of
the Jâshi have disappeared. The valley remained for the Kom, what else? |

[FK] Up there in Twilight Valley was were the Kâta used to bring their flocks to mountain pasture. To
Twilight Valley. Up there. Also from Durik Farm on up was where the Kâta were bringing their flocks to
mountain pastures. It was the Kâtas'. Basically it was under the Kâtas' domain, that mountain pasture.
Then later when the Kom had gone in from here and become numerous, the Kom from here fought
and
fought with them, ripped it off, and took it all the way up to the end. At the very end there's a place they
call Boondock Ground, a little way up from there is a stable area of the Kâta. At the very end of Twilight
Valley there are one or maybe two stable areas. They belong to the Kâta. All the rest the Kom ripped
off. |
