I suspect that since Vinga is a goddess of the Vingkotlings, it's the other way around. After all, Vingkot is well known to be Orlanth's son, and no Vingan is going to accuse their goddess of incest (whether they believe she is Orlanth's daughter or sister).

Yeah, I couldn't remember if that was something that we learned from Greg, or a typo. So I left it in.
and on King of Dragon Pass itself:

You could have had a shaky tribe to begin with, or did something to annoy the other clans.

No devotees of those gods, at least. (You wouldn't expect lots of Uraldans in a war clan...)

The families of the named leaders.

You need to download the 1.0 update, which should fix that bug. (You'll get one more Humakti ambush, but it should be the last.) <http://a-sharp.com/kodp/update/>
Philip Hibbs had more KoDP questions:

Tricksters are born, not made...

That's not a given. Exploring can be risky (even if you haven't annoyed the Humakti), but exploring can help make it safer (by scouting out bandit nests). And (to return to our original subject), there's a Vinga blessing for explorers...
