"Wife Inheritance' is a colonial nickname which has a derogative connotation. I am surprised that a Luo in the 21st century would use that colonial term as a translation of the Luo institution of ter or lako.

Thanks for bringing that to light.

It used to be more ceremonious when kelo ywak was done physically. It used to make the message weighty

Discuss how the Luo used to do a funeral before the mortuaries and coffins. Were they buried the same day?

[@rvmestudios]

Hello there. From our research, we found that before the use of coffins became prevalent, the Luo people buried their dead directly in the ground. They would dig a shallow grave, and the deceased would be laid to rest in it.

[@rvmestudios]

The burial was formerly done on the day following the death.
