" The pr imord ial t ie was notable for the " i neffable s ign ificance" which social actors attribute to it and to the relat ionship which it engenders : "the attachment [ is] not merely to the other . . . as a person , but as a possessor of certain especially 's ign ificant relat ional' qual it ies, wh ich could only be described as p rimord ial. The attachment . . . is not just a funct ion of i nteract ion .
