mpondozankomo
I am charmed and mystified by this lovely word. Something to do with cows (izinkomo); isizul.net has impondo as handlebards and I'm wondering if that comes from the horns of cattle...
In fact 'uphondo' means 'horn' and so the word mphondozankomo seems to be a reference to the horns of the cattle that might be visible in the early hours.
If you know more, please tell me.
