hello,
could somebody please help me with a explanation and translation? i am seeking the word/concept that honors matrilineal society. i did some research and discovered the word tharavadu, but i would like to be sure before commit to the permanence of a tattoo on my body. a men's group i belong to has adopted the sanskrit word for lineage, gotra, to describe patrilineal society, but i seek the balance of both. if possible, please send an explanation, translation, and the sanskrit symbol. any help would be appreciated.
thank you, vinnie
