The Chamkhar told his two siblings that they could race along if they liked, but because he was in no hurry to get to the ocean he was going to take his time enjoying the views on his journey.
This is said to be the reason why the Bumthang Valley is blessed with a wide and calm expanse, while the Trongsa and Lhuntse Valleys are steep and narrow.

Kurtoep also displays a type of differential object marking unique even amongst Bodic.
