  "story": "Two traditions and one city. The leg work is gone from it; the yant is not. The masters working here publish lineages that run back through Burmese and Tai Yai teaching, which is the border that this site's leg-tattoo map is drawn around.\n\nThe script on a northern yant is the northern script. That is the correction this site keeps repeating, because the central Thai convention gets written up as though it were the whole country's."
