We have lunch in Kholme. Then, following the example of other cars, we cross the river. We finally make it with many Konso pushing. We reach Karate (see map 14).

Tadesse says that studies on Konso (Hallpike 1972; Watson 1998; Demeulenaere 2001) have all focussed on central Konso around Karate (see also, in the meantime, Demeulenaere 2005). Groups like the Kholme, who might have their own poqallas and have possibly developed quite special relationships to the Boran, who live downhill from them, have not been studied at all – for example, the Gewada.
