    Interversion of the order between wife, concubine and slave girl was always to be feared, and appropriate provisions appeared in the T'ang code and its successors.

    Thanks to the conservatism of local toponymy, the first five rivers (Khvāstrā, Hvaspā, Fradathā, Khvarenahvaitī, Ushtavaitī) are safely identified as northeastern and northern tributaries of the lake, enumerated in anticlockwise order (merely with interversion of the last two).

    We find ourselves once more in the presence of the phenomenon shath, the interversion of personalities occurring in the course of mystical union.
