Recorded Praise Names

These are praise names, not a full recitation.

Izinqulo IZITHAKAZELO
MawawaMbolokoqosheNtomntwana
Second recorded form NIVILE
MawawaMbolokoqosheSenzwa

Two versions are recorded and neither has been chosen. Where community sources differ on a praise, both readings are kept. A regional form and a transcription slip are indistinguishable to anyone who is not a first-language reader.

Written down by families and by the people who recorded them.
