About the rite
In Butonese Posuo, adolescent girls stay in a seclusion space called a suo. Bhisa and senior women teach conduct, spiritual preparation, and the responsibilities of adult womanhood.
At the close, local administrative sources describe a change from kabua-bua, a girl, to kalambe, an adult daughter or woman. A 2026 local record documents the practice in Buton.
