To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Assyrian. 1. pishana =a severe pain, pishannu =to cause trouble. 2. dzudzura = to paint. zurah = to shine. (as causative, " to make shin- I ing-") 3. sima = to plant. 1 simmu = a plant. ♦The name Mashona has been objected to by several scientists, who prefer to call the tribe the Makalanga. This latter name is^upposed to mean " the People of the Sun/' Ma = people, ^«=of, langa (for ilanga)=s\m. I strongly doubt whether this is not a case of Bantu popular etymology. As far as I am aware, the pre...position of in Bantu does not enter into any tribal name of the Bantu. The Makalanga are probably an offshoot of another tribe found more north, and called the Makaranga (r =./), and this makes me inclined to think that the real meaning is " the people of Karan," which might have quite another explanation. Why the term Mashona should be objected to» I can- not quite see. The expression means " the people who hiss," a name which was probably given them by some other Bantu tribe, on account of the large amount, of sh and other sibilants in the Shuna language, a factor which certainly distinguishes Shuna from other Bantu languages.
