Summary/Abstract: In this paper, a case study of a feud will be elaborated on, which started 21 years ago and has not been finished yet. First conflict began in 1901 when three men from the D. family battered a head of a neighbouring family Z. H. A year later Z.H. taking revenge killed a head of a D. family. In all consequent conflicts (1974,1975, 1970, 1980, 1991) ended in killings or wounding, the families involved in the feud exchanged the roles of avengers and victims. In this feud case study, five killings and eight attempts have been noted so far.
