In Kuduk, a konohma (Kuduk: konohma, 苦奴么), sometimes translated as "Raven's Teeth", is a type of sacred object worn over the teeth. Konohma are generally made of some type of metal and are oftentimes painted or inscribed with poetry. Their primary use is in court, in which a judge wears a konohma which is believed to render the judge to speak only the truth. Their first documented use on the Kuduk Isles was in the western tribs of the isles, specifically in the 13th century Hey Tribe. Since then, the practice of using Konohma spread across Kuduk.
