The ’sale’ of allotments is practised both in villages where the land is divided according to the number of registered persons in each family and no fundamental redistribution of the land takes place, and in villages where the land is divided according to the number of actual members in each family and is subject to periodical redistribution; only, in the latter case, the transactions are usually for shorter periods, until the next redistribution date, which in these parts has recently in most cases been determined in advance by the community’s decision on land redistribution.
Sólo que, en este último caso, las operaciones se hacen, por lo general, para períodos más cortos, hasta la fecha de la nueva redistribución, que en estos lugares, recientemente y en la mayoría de los casos, la ha determinado por anticipado la decisión de la comunidad sobre la redistribución.
