What the elders say
The names in this record can be recovered from paper and from anyone who remembers. A voice cannot. When an old man dies with an account nobody wrote down, it is not mislaid — it is finished.
Nothing has been recorded yet.
This is the emptiest and most urgent part of the platform. The lineage will still be here next year. The people who can explain it may not.
It does not need to be formal. A phone on a table while an uncle explains why a compound was divided the way it was is worth more than anything written afterwards from memory.
