CAUTION: There are no definitive salutations for villages. There are number of contentious salutations given the fluidity of in the ranking of some titles depending of the village and the context in which the salutations are being used. The salutations given here are a collection of salutations which you could abbreviate or  improvise depending on the situation you are in. The salutations used here have been drawn from the records of Dr Kramer and the past Methodist missionaries. The main purpose here is to help you in handling a situation in which you have to acknowledge the saluations of the persons you are dealing with in a formal ceremonial environment.
