Versions of the Kalanga letter "B"

From what I have often written about the Kalanga pronunciation of the letter "B", a non-Kalanga speaker would have difficulty reading three Kalanga infinitive verbs: Ku Bika; Ku Bika and Ku Vika.

The "B" in the first verb, "Ku Bika" (To cook) should be pronounced like the "B" in the religious "Gautama Buddha".

The "B" in the second verb, also written "Ku Bika" (To report) is the soft "B", which in Shona language has been transformed to a "V"; but in Russian remains a "B", although when Russian is translated to English, this "B" becomes a "V". All Kalanga words relating to people groups (or types) e.g, Ba-Kalanga, Ba-Ngwato, Banhu, Bathu, Ba-English, have their "B" in this category.

The "V" in the third verb, "Ku Vika" (To block (a blow)) is pronounced the same way as a "V" in English.

It was with the above in mind that I was pleasantly surprised to find that according to Russian history, the first people to settle in ancient Russia, around the present-day city of Kiev, were called Varangians. Correctly written in Kalanga, these people were Ba-Ra-nGi, meaning "Ra's people on Earth".  "Gi" meaning Earth, is not Kalanga; it's Anunnaki language. It is consistently written with a "G" as in I-Gi-Puta (Egypt), and never with a "K", contrary to what some Tswana language writers (TLWs) would have us believe. Some TLWs claim that the last "ki" in Anunnaki refers to Earth, and that Anu-Nna-Ki means Anu who lives on Earth. I mean really? Aren't these the people whom ancient Russian history has called "Varangians"? I maintain that Anu-nnaki is Kalanga, and it simply means Anu-the-Good.

You see, Setswana language developed out of Kalanga. It is a version of Kalanga which is especially suited to be audible in a noisy animal environment. Try saying "Nthu" (meaning "Person"), when cows are moo-ing for their young ones and you will not be heard. But the Setswana version "Motho/Muthu", or for that matter the Shona version "Munhu", is well audible even under those conditions.

Speaking about a "person", the Russian word for a person/human being is quite revealing. In Russian, the word "Vek" (written in Russian alphabet, of course) means 100 years or an age or a lifetime! The Kalanga verb "Ku tjila (pronounced Ku Chila)" means "To live". The Russian word "Chilavek" (written in Russian alphabet of course) means "human being".

We thus have it in Russian that a human being is an animal which lives for about a hundred years. Is this proof that there have been non-human beings, but beings all the same, whose lives used to last either a lot longer or a lot shorter than a hundred years?

  1. The more you remain this ignorant even when you are presented with hard facts that seek to cure your emotionally charged discourse, the more you choose to counter them with made up stories and fables, it is the more Batswana and others will continue to dominate your ignorant a$$.

    Counter reason this, The top 3 richest black men in Southern Africa are Patrice Motsepe (a Motswana), Cyril Ramaphosa and Mosima Gabriel Segwale. The richest tribe in the entire continent of Africa are The Royal Bafokeng Nation (RBN) led by Kgosi Leruo Molotlegi. The former Bophuthatswana homeland excelled economically and attracted more investment (foreign & local) more than any other homeland at the time.

    Eat that you kalanga freak, you are a time bomb waiting to self-detornate and no one can diffuse you but yourself., even western education failed to remedy your superiority disease. All you good at is to be employed and get paid without contributing nothing to a country even though you carry Phds. You are frustrated because your kind can't devolp or build anything, you only lay claim to other people's achievement like 'iZindlu-za-matshe' 'Dintlu-tsa-majwe' that you have corrupted to Zimbabwe with your foul prounuciations. You can't govern yourself, you need to be governed and it has been like that for ages. Keep up the good ignorant work, Batswana and other Bantu groups will continue to dominate your sorry a$$.

    Food for thought: Word for Person in various Bantu languages across the continent
    Mtu - Swahili
    Muntu - Bemba
    Moto - Lingala
    oMuntu - Oshidonka
    uMuntu - Zulu
    Mutu - Luvale
    Muntru - Rukwangali
    Motho - Sotho/Tswana
    Munhu - Tsonga/Shona
    Munthu - Chichewa
    oMuntu - Runyakore/Rukiga
    Monto - Lega
    Munu - Timbukushu
    oMonto - Kuria
    and the odd one Nthu - Kalanga

    See, your ancestors developed a cultural practice which is similar to that of the Mursi/Suri tribe of Ethiopia of putting a Lip disc which makes it impossible to promounce the letter M. The sound 'M' is pronounce by putting lips together whereas the soun 'N' is a voiced, nasal sound. The /N/ sound is distinguished from the /M/ sound by the placement of the tongue. To make the /N/ sound, place the tip of your tongue (top of mouth cavity) just behind your teeth as you lower your jaw a bit.

    This odd pronouciation of Muthu as Nthu, is because of a practice by the ancient kalanga women and as you know, we normally say mother-tongue because while the fathers were out hunting and cattle rearing, the mothers stayed behind and taught your dumb a$$ language. Even as the practice was dropped, the corrupted pronunciation remained just like with other Bantu variations in sound

  2. Now, Dombashaba (meaning ‘red rock’) being a Kalanga word is suppose to share similar etymology with how places associated with Stone Buliding Cultures were given names, like Zimbabwe, Nyangabwe, Mapungubwe etc. To begin with, there is the name itself: Zimbabwe, availble research material inform us the word means "stone of hut". The etymology was arrived at using the Shona languange, its correctness is also supported by other bantu languages like Sotho & Nguni words for house and stone. Zima-re-mabwe, Dintlu-tsa-majwe & Zindlu-za-matje is arrived at using western historians interpretations.

    In Africa the word 'zim' means gold and simba or zimba means lion, nyanga or ngaka means a traditional healer or sanusi and mapungu or mahungu or mafoko means words. These names can be broken as follows : Simba-(ma)bwe or Zim-(ma)bwe and Nyanga-(ma)bwe or Ngaka-(ma)jwe and Mapungu-(ma)bwe or Mahungu-(ma)bwe or Mafoko-(ma)jwe.

    This makes sens since in South Africa Mapungubwe has been declared to mean "place of the stone of wisdom/knowledge"

  3. To further demonstrate your ignorance and skill of reasoning from a 'vacuum'

    On the "Barwa are Ba-rua?" topic You said

    "Unfortunately, I have not read any of Sitchin's books. Our local bookshops sell only the bible. They used to sell other books, but there was no business. Nobody reads; save perhaps the president!"

    Well, the fact that nobody reads I suppose also includes you, the least you can do is to read the book from whence the term An.u.nna.ki was derived. Sitchin decoded Cuneiform into what spells "An.u.nna.ki", the very translation that you hijacked without the knowledge of how it was decoded from Sumerian cuneiform into the Roman alphabet. It doesn't come as surprise since this a trend of the Kalaka people to claim authorship of things they have no clue of how the came about like the Stone settlement that the ancient BaKalaka found abandoned and laid claim to.

    Yet you conjure up the audacity to say "contrary to what some Tswana language writers (TLWs) would have us believe. Some TLWs claim that the last "ki" in Anunnaki refers to Earth, and that Anu-Nna-Ki means Anu who lives on Earth. I mean really? Aren't these the people whom ancient Russian history has called "Varangians"? I maintain that Anu-nnaki is Kalanga, and it simply means Anu-the-Good."

    How pathetic!

    Some of us who have read Sitchin's work can relate to what is written below and not your Kalaka hogwash. Rather 1st learn cuneiform and how different "forms" were used and combined to constructed meaningful words.

    "An, was the 1st one government ruler of Nibiru. His spouse/wife's name was An.Tu, their 1st born was named An.Ki and their middle son was named An.Ib. It is from the succession of An.Ib that An.U was born

    An.u (named after his forefather An) was Nibiru's ruler when the An.u.nna.ki came to Earth. Ki is the Nibiruan name for Earth (firm ground), Ki.ngu is the Earth's Moon, Ki.engi was "Land of the lofty watchers" 1st region of "civilization" and Ki.shi was name for the 1st city of men where kingship began. Nibru.Ki was name for the Mission control centre on Earth, Unug.Ki was a city built for Anu's 1st royal visit. So using the Swati and Sotho-Tswana languages, one arrives at the underlying meaning of -nna.ki that is 'stay on earth or firm ground' from the Sotho-Tswana phrase 'nna fatshe' and its many variations"

    Nevertheless I like your mind, but like all things, mind is also prone to diseases especially if it lacks the necessary seals.
