      That is a whole book of new words in Kifuuliru you have outline, Ps. Nyangela. Thank you! And indeed, most of these words are similar to our Kenyan Luhya language. I can understand most of them. Historically, Bantus (of Kenya) are said to have migrated from the Congo Basin. It all makes sense now.
      By the way, how big is Kifuuliru language? Is it widely spoken in Congo?
