1. The entrance to a yurt is expected to be open unless one is attending to matters of the house or already receiving a guest and requires privacy in the conversation.
2. When a guest is in one's yurt it is expected that the host is to provide them with a traditional meal of mare's milk and goat meat. If the guest cannot eat dairy they are to be provided with just the goat meat and a drink from the host's well.
3. the protection of a guest's person and honor is the host's sacred duty and the murder of a guest is more heinous that even the killing of one's own father and brother and the perpetrator is to be barred from rebirth and condemned to Realm of Demons for all eternity.
4. When a guest arrives to a host's yurt it is expected that the guest shall be granted the first word and it be a request.
5. The guest is expected to always come unarmed when visiting a yurt and if he must be armed any attempts to reach for his weapon will result in the renunciation of his guest rights.
6. If a guest dishonors a host he renounces all rights and protections afforded to a guest.
