Some transformational names

I have come accross  some names, not for the first time, which initially bore no significance  to me, but which now seem highly significant. These are historical Zimbabwe names. They are written differently by different authors. I will write what I believe they really are. The first name CHIKULA-U-JE-MBEU is of an ancient ruler.

Let's break this name down. The verb KU KULA means TO GROW UP. Chikula is an imperative - "It's time you grew up!" The verb KU JA means TO EAT. U-JE is an imperative - "and eat!". The noun MBEU (here) means GRAIN, otherwise means SEEDS.

The name CHIKULA-U-JE-MBEU therefore loosely translated means IT IS TIME YOU GREW UP AND STARTED EATING GRAIN! Well, what is there to say other than just Voila! A child born in transformation from crap-and-milk eating Anunnaki to grain-eating Human was eagerly awaited to be King.

The next name I met was that of the TORWA dynasty of Nkami (Khami) near Bulawayo. In my recent post titled "Barwa are Barua", I showed that the people of Nkami are the Bangwato, Bakwena and Bangwaketse of present day Botswana. Following the same lexicon, Torwa should correctly read TO-RUA, a word that is partly Kalanga and partly Tswana. "TO" is Kalanga meaning "WE". The word "RUA (dikgomo)" is a Tswana verb meaning "To rear or to raise (cattle)".

What the above shows is that the TORWA were a transformation from a Kalanga speaking to a Tswana speaking dynasty. Some may ask "why not the other way around?" The answer is simply that the names of the listed tribes remain Kalanga names to this day, but a good portion of those tribes speak Setswana (Tswana) today.

A tribe of Kalangas known as Bahumbe, meaning "diggers/miners", evidently identify with the Changamires of the Zimbabwean plateau. I knew a very old woman who died in the early 1970's.
She used to say "Iswi ti ba Makulukusa, uno busa ku BuChanga", meaning "We are of the clan of Makulukusa, who reigns at Changa". In my view this directly links to the "Guruuswa" and their "Changamire" rulers. She also told us that traditionally, their clan rode oxen (Tanangombe?). What this shows is that the Butua (Buthuwa) dynasty of the Changamire's which routed the Barwa from Nkami, extended all the way into present day Botswana. And these are the Barwa to whom the British gave up to 80 % of the land area of Botswana, resulting in the Barwa naming our country after themselves - Botswana!

"Dawn" of a new day?

You see, when I put up the post entitled "Nkami" on 30 November 2012, the disk at the feet of the two birdmen in the Rapa Nui Moai birdmen petroglyphs on Easter Island seemed to represent a waterless planet Mars - an empty bowl.

Now, and with the Dawn spacecraft apparently in no hurry to get those closeups of dwarf planet Ceres, that moai Disk looks increasingly like the brightly lit crater on Ceres! I hope it's okay to speculate.

Ceres, Oh Ceres, what are you bringing us?

While I am excited about what the dwarf planet Ceres will reveal, I am filled with trepidation that I may yet again be proved wrong, this time about the Star of David: What if the Star simply represents the 3 mile high pyramid on Ceres, superimposed on Ceres's brightly lit crater!

Let's hope the coming low fly-by photographs will tell us more.

I wonder who Jacob was.

Before grinding grain into powder, we process the grain to remove the fibre/roughage. We  do not eat the roughage. Instead we often cook it and feed it to dogs and chickens. In Kalanga, roughage is called "ikuba", which is of course equivalent to "kuba". Still in Kalanga, to eat is "ku ja". The phrase "ja kuba" therefore means "eat roughage". This is the Kalanga rendition of the biblical name "Jacob".

Now, an interesting "coincidence" of sorts is that in Setswana language, which is a variant of Coptic/Sothu languages, roughage is called "moroko".

The Anunnaki, at one stage of their inhabitance of earth, fed on our faeces. If a human wanted to "be difficult" he/she would probably eat roughage so as to present as little food value as possible in his/her faeces. This would particularly irk the god Ra, who ordered people not to plough, but rather to eat meat; presumably to maximise protein in the Anunnaki "diet".

The scriptures tell us that Jacob, son of Isaac was often at loggerheads with "God", but they don't really explain why. Could it be that he consistently ate roughage in order to frustrate the Anunnaki ? More importantly, could the people of Morocco (moroko) be the real descendants of the biblical Jacob ?

Barwa are Ba-rua ?

And at this point I must acknowledge my possible mistake about Barwa being Ba-Ra. It seems most plausible that Barwa could infact be Ba-Rua, meaning "those who raise (cattle)". It makes sense that the Barwa called themselves by a name which is directly opposite that by which they referred to the people whose lands they invaded to graze their herds - Bakhwa.

Bakhwa = Bakgadi, not Basarwa

And so Roy Sesana, leader of the Bakhwa/Bakhoe organisation of First People of the Kalahari
(FPK) is most probably right when he says that the name Basarwa, used to refer to Bakhwa in
Setswana is a corrupted version of the Setswana phrase Ba-Sarua, meaning "those who do not
rear(or raise) animals".

You see, rearing cattle is a central economic activity of the Tswana people ever since the
founding of Khami/Nkami near Bulawayo by the Anunnaki. We have shown on this blog that the
Bangwato, Bakwena, Bangwaketse and Bakaa people originate from Khami. These people, who now
live in Botswana, used to be the herders and milkers of the animals  whose milk served as food for the Anunnaki.

What may have escaped notice by Kalanga speakers is that the historical inhabitans of Khami, a people refered to as "Botua" are in fact "Bothua/Bothuwa". Their name is derived from the Kalanga verb "Ku thuwa (ngombe)" meaning "To rear (cattle)". Thus they were known as "Bathuwa" in Kalanga.

Like all animal herders, Bathuwa had to find pasture for their herds when Khami fell, long after the Anunnaki left the scene. Pasture was readily available in the lands of Bakhwa, who were mostly hunter gatherers.

Thus the word "Basarwa" came in handy to clear the consciences of the Bathuwa, as the latter
moved to invade the lands of the Bakhwa to graze their herds.

Who made us, Kalangas ?

There is no concept of one God in Kalanga language. I am not surprised. The closest to a “one God concept” is the entity “Mwali”. However, as we have shown on this blog, the word “Mwali” extrapolates to “Mu hali”, which means “In the pot/womb”. That we are all made by Mwali, is indisputable!

The Kalanga bible carries the word “Ndzimu” as a translation of the English word “God”. However, the word “Ndzimu” undoubtedly refers to the Anunnaki, and this is why: The noun “Ndzimu” derives from the verb “KU DZIMA”, meaning “To cool (something down), or to extinguish (a fire)”.

We have shown on this blog that to survive the heat of planet Earth, the Anunnaki had to be cooled down in ice chambers in Southern Africa and by means of fans in Egypt. The human work group responsible for this demanding task was Bakhwa (Bushmen). The word “Ndzimu” therefore refers to none other than the Anunnaki.

It boggles the mind that when we (Africans) told the Christian missionaries and Muslim Arabs, that we were made by the Anunnaki, in the womb, they called us Kaffirs (unbelievers). Who were the real kaffirs, one may ask? Was it us who believed something that we had proof about, or was it they who believed they were made by some “ONE” God, without any proof whatsoever?
