Note 90 — APPENDIX II. VOCABULARIES OF KI-ČAGA, KI-GWENO, AND KI-TAVEITA.

Reading edition

These forms in Ki-čaga are rather unsettled. I have sometimes heard them pronounced Gu, Ga, &c., and sometimes Ku, Ka. The more archaic-form prevailing in many Bantu languages would be Ku, Ka, Katu, &c. This becomes Hu, Ha in Swahili, A in Zulu, To, Ta in Lu-ganda, Su, Sa in Ki-nyanˇa, and so on. The archaic form of the negative prefix was KA.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
