The Kamnara of Sakwa are making ground to build for future generations

Greetings from the Kamnara of Sakwa! The Kamnara people of Sakwa on 27th December 2024 gathered at Village Park, Ajigo (near Bondo). Hosted by Kwaka Joseph, they hearkened to the consultative forum call, arriving in good numbers and early enough for a successful day. The gathering was chaired by Mr. Nying’ro James Onyango, a former (retired) assistant commissioner of Police. The introductions were excellent. The genealogies were mentioned in reverence, lengthy ones applauded. And courtesy of Enos Oyaya’s book, “Kamnara my people”, anyone who would need help had the documentation.

We killing Ul'logori, Gudahi Kaiga

Happy Birthday to Gudahi Kaiga. He is 84! and goes strong. This is one man, simple to the core, self initiated to linguistics and can keep one awed at his collection of knowledge. He is however upset by the many people who participate in killing ul'logori in their many ways. If you do not support the course, to him, you are aimed to destroy it. One thing today, apart from the life celebration of lows and highs, he said that the only letter in Lulogooli that can be abbreviated is 'l'. Ururimi- Ul'limi is an example he gave. Further, as by him, there are seven vowels in Lulogooli. Seven! Also, there are vowel-come-consonants in the language.  An example? 'Duya'. Du is not just a sylabble in da de di do du flow. It is pronounced as 'duf', at the palate, lips held. Same to 'ny' which is more of 'n'ny' in pronunciation. Interested, the support he last received, and the person who showed thanks was from Berkely, USA. We, the Africans are indeed a third world, he repeated. So we owe him as he owes us, in this life.
