Ëzó-Rhažóval
The Ëzó-Rhažóval are the twelve houses of the Ïlýrhonid Tribe in which lived the twelve Hyvamto-Žö-Ýšïb, or the Heads of the Families. These houses formed a ring around the larger Ëzó-Rhegarhifiŋ, the meeting place of these heads, and marked the delineation between the central governmental complex and the twelve familial territories that radiated out from the center.
These twelve houses varied extensively in their composition, especially during the Ýmor-Šapariž period. In addition to being a representation of each family's unique culture, they also were symbolic of the family's well-being through phenomena like the Žömëp-Fýtaŋ. Specifically, the structural health of the building itself was often interpreted as tied to the cohesive and social health of the family.
