Oxford Living Dictionary has been posting a family nomenclature as Word of the Day.
Today, it's
umntakababa
my/our brother/sister
a word I've not heard before
but one can see is made of umntwana-ka-baba, child of my father.
Thula nje wena mntakababa, mhla ngiphumayo ngizokulungisela zonke izikhalo zakho.
Be quiet, my sister, the day I leave I will resolve all your complaints for you.
Love the example sentence and practiced it all day. Full of the beauty of the language.
