ThwaMambo

In the post entitled “Feeling like a sparrow” sometime in December 2012, I wrote:

How did “Anu” become “Ato”?. How did “nambo” meaning “a step” become “thambo”?. I suspect the Draco Reptilians forced people to spit (Apthu!) when talking about King Anu.

Well, I now think it was not the Draco Reptillians who “forced” people to spit; at least not directly. There is a people in Southern Africa, possibly in South Africa herself, called the Thwamambo. The Kalanga word unpacks as follows:
Ku thwa: meaning TO SPIT
Mambo: meaning KING.


And so these were the people who basically changed Ikalanga language.
