Inheritance
Theirs is the inversion of the parallel descent system: "alternating decent". A son inherits from his mother, and a daughter inherits from her father.

Because they're migratory people, splitting up the family land is not an issue. Parents split their inheritance between multiple children. If a mother has 3 sons, she will split the herd up amongst them.

This inheritance includes:
 * Name (matronym and patronym; no surname or clan name)
 * Goods (blankets, horses, etc)
 * A trade, sometimes, if they have one
 * An especially prized relationship with the inheriting parent's inheriting parent (a boy's maternal grandfather; a girl's paternal grandmother). Because the grandparent and grandchild are of the same sex, the grandparent is supposed to give their grandchild advice regarding relationships and the like.
