The naming conventions also specifically state that Nunh status does not equate to leadership and that very few Nunh ever become leaders, so it seems like while being a Nunh seems to be a desirable element for breeding, it doesn't actually have any impact on your power within the tribe's hierarchy (though I'd wager it would make you important, as a source of new offspring). I haven't gotten far enough into the game to see if there's any further exposition there and I am really curious if there are other sources of lore I haven't found yet!
I also remember reading somewhere that one Nunh per 10-50 females is average, which seems to imply there can be more than one Nunh per tribe, but for the life of me I can't remember where it was I read that.
Herp durp I have a high quality memory. It's in the naming conventions topic:
Quote:Depending on its size, a tribe may have multiple nunh (a ratio of one nunh per ten to fifty females is average).
 Yep, I found that too. Actually, what I misread was another forum topic that brought up that they -could- be patriarchal or they -could- not be patriarchal and probably both forms of society exist given the number of different tribes. I also think I took the part about Nunhs not always becoming leaders and the part where, even though they are the root of a new clan (when they establish one) they are also replaceable and my brain equated a fact out of that that doesn't actually exist.
 Sorry 'bout dat.
