Phobe/Gyu

Each of the four Thakali clans - Bhattachan, Gauchan, Sherchan and Tulachan - has sub-clans called Phobe/Gyuba/Gyu. There are currently 39 such gyu listed below.

All four clans had Dhyatan phobe but Dhyatan phobe in Sherchan clan became extinct in the early twentieth century.

Thakalis cannot marry within the same clan. For Dhyatan phobe, there is an additional restriction, and that is, they cannot marry another Dhyatan from another clan.
