<< noticed in my skimming of TR that the girls are initiated annually, and
the boys every 5th year. This got me thinking about the "average clan size"
and so on. Of the 1200 folks, 600 are kids, which I assume to be 300 each of
boys and girls. For the girls 6% (1/15th rounded down) get initiated each
time, which is 18 or so. For the boys, it is
25% (5/19ths rounded down), which is 75 or so. That seems kinda big to me.

Presumably its rather less than 75, unless they have zero infant mortality.
