The Rokbeigalm 'play' a game (it's more of an art form, really) called
Ka''Wei''Ra, short for Kamble-a tza'Weithaad sudRabauk, "the Dance of
Rhythmic Brawling". It's similar to the Real-World Brazilian martial art
Capoeira (hence the name), but the Rokbeigalmki form is used exclusively
as an art and game form, and not for fighting. Someone using a
distinctively Ka''Wei''Ra move in a fight would be considered practically
blasphemous, especially as the aggressor. The Rokbeigalmki word
_rabauk_, which i glossed as "brawl", means a play-fight specifically.
