 In the case of individual Cumans, when the designation "Cumanus" was added to their proper names it was used not as a cultural or ethnic term but as a sign of legal status".The only "ethnic marker" for all groups described by such terminology seems to have been their costume and hairstyle, including pigtails and kaftans which were not adopted by any other nomads in Hungary.Likewise, the more remote areas of Kunság continued to practice "traditional household slaughter" of animals, which included the breaking of bones; this may also suggest that they maintained some pre-Christian rituals.
