The others – Tampans & Tatibins – are smaller and have fewer restrictions on usage and inheritance.
Tampans are the smallest usually squarish and less than 1 meter long on each side. Tatibins are about 1 – 1.5 m long rectangular pieces. But Palepais are over 3 m long.
Further, while Tampans are used by all descendants of the family, the Palepai is special.
Only the direct male descendant of the clan founder had the right to inherit and use the family’s ancestral Palepai and display it on the walls during all family events.
