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.

About This Record

Families Tell This Differently

Families who carry this name tell parts of it differently. Each way it has been told is below.

This clan already carried a text from a different authority and the two do not agree. Neither reading has been chosen: both are on record (izPrevious keeps the earlier one) and a first-language reader decides. Elision and word-boundary differences change meaning in isiZulu, which is exactly why this is not a tidy-up.
