SWAHILI WORDS OF THE DAYS THAT I DIDN'T POST

I've had a really busy week so getting posts up was kind of forgotten. So here are the past week or so's words.


lakiwa: be met

wiwa: be owed

sokotana: curl

kete: small kind of cowrie

mdudu: insect

kunja: bend

ajirisha: hire for work

momonyoka: break off

sogelea: come nearer to

ngiri: wart-hog

akhera: afterlife

tumwa: be sent

bao: goal (in sports)

the next one wasn't very nice so I decided to omit it

isingizia: pretend

kigawakati: bisector

faransa: French

mkataba wa huduma: contract of service

kiboko: small zigzag silk embroidery

tekelea: be held spellbound (we would just call it "deer in the headlights")

jeuri: injustice

ona kiu: be thirsty

Well that is enough for today. By the way, I can't figure out why it is double-spaced.

Hakuna Matata=D
