Gcina

How did I come across this word? Can't remember, but it struck a chord, as it is the name of South Africa's most famous storyteller, Gcina Mhlope.

First I only saw this meaning

-gcina
stop, come to an end
also
get completed or finished

and thought she may have been the last child, and perhaps she was.
But a more likely meaning for a name, and relevant to her work

-gcina
keep, preserve, save, store
take care of, look after
glue, stick

UZodwa uyakwazi ukugcina izimfihlo zabantu.
Zodwa is able to keep peoples' secrets.

and another mysterious example from the isiZulu Oxford Living Dictionary:
UMvubu yena uthi wagcina ebangeni lesihlanu.
Mvubu, on the other hand, says he stopped in Grade 5.

Here is a video of Gcina telling a story. Only the beginning, but she is a joy to behold and hear.
