Vinnie Miresse 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2012 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
