A) Possibly true
B) Possibly a bad joke on the most hated man, or an ousted usurper, in the tribe
C) Possibly a disabled man, unable to take part in ‘manly’ pursuits, so was buried, not as a statement of his sexual role, but in honor of the working role he fulfilled
D) Possibly he was a terrible lover, so the women demanded he be buried that way to ridcule his lack of sexual prowess
