An emissary entrusted with the "cimpaaba" of a tribal chief spoke with the authority of the latter.Several authors mention that "cimpaaba" played an important part in trials. Even the mere display of the sceptre knife could silence heated debates. The use of the "cimpaaba" was associated with certain codes.
