A few people have mentioned Uz marriages and the family unit. MGV:
I imagine that if you're an Uz your family consists of:
Your Mum
Your sisters
Your brothers
Your Mum's family (her Mum, her sisters, her brothers, etc.
recursively)
with fathers not playing too much part.
Also, I don't really see male Uzko as husbands, generally. They fertilise, maybe stay around a while for companionship, then move on or go back to soldiering or whatever other dangerous activity they do all day.
Further to my original mail, I suppose a male Uzko who had fathered only Uzko, rather than Enlo litters, would be regarded as a desirable "stud".
In any case thanks for all the replies; I've got the scenario hooks I came for. (For any of the North London Group who might be listening the working title is Birthing Partner.)
Cheers,
Jim
