history
After a war against the Portuguese , the kingdom of Maudemi joined together with Sisi in the alliance Uma Tolu ( "Three Houses" ) of the empires Fatumean , Lookeu and Dakolo and founded the alliance Koba Lima . A " Koba " is a basket that is used for ritual acts and "lima", the word for "five". By corruption, "Koba" later became the Portuguese "Cova", which means "pit". Through the colonial demarcation, with the Treaty of Lisbon , between the Netherlands and Portugal, Sisi, Maudemi and half of Lookeus came to what is now Indonesian West Timor, while the rest of Lookeu, Fatumean and Dakolo are now part of the Cova Lima municipality, which belongs to East Timor . Ties across the border still exist today.
