"Pashat 'waidong" is an old practice where the woman gives betel nut that has been cut and rolled with betel leaf to the man with whom she is enamoured. This indicates her liking of him. The 'waidong is presented as a gift from the woman to the man and this was mainly practised by royal and noble families.
"Pashat 'Wáidong" is an old Khasi practice (which may be described as a courtship practice) where the woman chooses and shows to all the man whom she is besotted with. 😁🤩😁🤩
