Pashto has displaced K mv'iri in the villages of p' aNar , g N' r , n'uk , ' Nir , l'ikuT , and m C'iamon in kun'aR . K m'aston has extensive mountain pastureland, called so , and lowland winter grazing areas, called Sor , which support the raising of goats and cattle for dairy , meat, and other products. Communities are typically surrounded by irrigated fields. Crops include maize, wheat, millet, sorghum, several kinds of legumes , and squash. During the agricultural season the fields are the locus of women s work, while the mountain pastures are the domain of livestock-tending males.
Arboriculture is extensive, with an abundance of walnuts, mulberries, and various kinds of fruit.
Kom tribal organization comprises a number of agnatic groups that are bound together by a common genealogy and ties of intermarriage. In pre-Islamic times a male could not marry the daughter of an agnate. Nowadays, following Islamic and Afgh n practice, men are beginning to marry agnates daughters. As in other Nurist ni societies, there is a caste division between the z 'o 'freemen' and the b r'i 'emburdened ones'. Before the introduction of Isl m, the b r'i were slaves, and even today they do not form agnatic groups and may not own pastureland.
