>> I have never heard of this before and find it very interesting! It seems like it would also lead to pleasant interactions, depending on how choofs are done. <<
Choofing is a major part of Cani life. Cani puppies choof early, deciding affan in matters such as funny noises (this was the topic of another Sythyry post) or games. Adult Cani choof over domestic, professional, or political matters and there are timeframes for it. For instance, the affan-cook may be choofed once a month, something that everyone enjoys because FOOD! Political leaders may be choofed once a year, usually, or sometimes several years. Choofs tend to be public in varying degrees, so family matters are attended by the family, and a business choof might be enjoyed by a whole town.
For a human example, the Celts used to have an official poet for each town, and contests to see who would hold the "chair." These contests were enormously popular and drew large crowds as the poets would compete to see who could make the best verse.
When you get to reading my stuff, watch for hilarious culture!fail moments in "Over the Old Bridge" as people argue over what leadership and authority mean, and how they are to be gotten, and who should be consulted on which matters.
>> Thank you for sharing this concept with me! It took a little Google-ing to determine what was actually going on here, but it was well worth the effort! <<
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. If you like my writing, you'd probably enjoy Bard's too.
