Village of Ngalmessurakh (Ssǘ Crossing) population about 3,500 of which about 30% are Salarvyáni decent. There are no palaces in the village and there are small temples (really shrines) to Dlamélish, Avánthe, Shiringgáyi, and Belkhánu. The head man is Dik hiZhigau (Green Kirtle clan). There is no formal garrison but a cohort of militia can be raised as needed in a few hours. The third rate Sákbe road on the dike which runs along the river protecting the area from the rainy season floods has about 10 guards from the local militia at any one time.
