If you had a sickly female born that grew up to be little more than another mouth to feed and nothing to give back to the tribe, however, I could certainly see them being considered not worthy to bear the Nunh's children. The resulting offspring may carry the strengths of the Nunh, but they may equally be weakened by the weaknesses in this particular female. Heck, in a more primitive/hard-pressed tribe, I could even see her being cast out and left to fend for herself (or die).
Yes, exactly. You worded it better than I have. If not raw physical strength then at least some, desirable attribute. Though my tribe doesn't seem to see it that way, I find it pretty understandable to be just as careful with females too.... assuming a tribe can afford to be so picky(population and age distribution-wise).
