Žömëp-Fýtaŋ

The Žömëp-Fýtaŋ, or the Building of an Eternal, is a trope characteristic of early Ibrófeneð tribes. This consists of the representation of some organization as a symbolically massive Ibrófeneð of its own. The members of the tribe would thus foster a bond or duty to it by envisioning themselves as integral parts of this larger creature who, like the internal organs of a typical Ibrófeneð, work together to keep the tribe healthy and functional. Conversely, the individuals take on the identity of the whole, being represented both in the eyes of themselves and of others as chiefly a part of this larger organization.

This stretches beyond mere tribes; any symbolic items or buildings associated with a particular organization share qualities between it and the organization itself. One specific example is the Ëzó-Rhegarhifiŋ, whose structural integrity was often tied to the health of the Alaghúl-Garhifiŋ, its residing council, throughout its history.
