Emwalola nensolelo yakuti: Uwafyala Ngosa tabula kuoswaoswa. The White Fathers’ Dictionary translates this associated expression as: He who begot a scamp does not escape being rebuked sharply!<br />Being a navel name it serves as a childhood name until you become a parent and begin to be called Bana….. or Bashi…. The name then becomes the equivalent of a Western surname. I hope this helps<br />Keith<br />Ida and Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12332096997691038656noreply@blogger.com
