Saniaga as mwana wu Mukana - Kavogoi

Another version to the above, as Onamu from Gambogi said, is that Saniaga ni nyumba yu mukana. These, elders refuse. But hango hagosaaku mwana wumkana kweri?

Kavogoi, Murogori's daughter, was married Embo. She had been taken as she had gone Mukisumiru. There she had given birth to children (number?), before her husband decided to marry another wife. Imbarika. It is said she 'refused'.

Some important knowing is that all Murogori outcasts -epileptic, mad, etc - were given to Luos for free. They go marry there. Even those who feared circumcision. Kivi kizie Embo.

We do not say Kavogoi was 'mad', but then, a woman was a woman. Sit, relax, sire, age, die, a process she went through. But she thought of her father, brothers, home...and ran back with kids. The man is said to have been Jakamnara.

'Murogori', seeing 'Kavogoi' back and children with her, he was least disturbed. There was land and it was better the grandchildren lived Evorogori than Embo. Well, the sons, as they grew followed maternal uncless -Ivusari, Ivukizungu, Imavi and Ivukirima - for land. And having grown as orphans, they grew to love one another and were so passionate to be meeting and looking at one another's welfare.

- This version does not explain the Saniaks. Could Saniaks be a name coincidence? Research!
