  • Appendix 1 Vernacular Names
    Appendix 1 Vernacular Names The vernacular names listed below have been collected from the literature. Few have phonetic spellings. Spelling is not helped by the difficulties of transcribing unwritten languages into European syllables and Roman script. Some languages have several names for the same species. Further complications arise from the various dialects and corruptions within a language, and use of names borrowed from other languages. Where the people are bilingual the person recording the name may fail to check which language it comes from. For example, in northern Sahel where Arabic is the lingua franca, the recorded names, supposedly Arabic, include a number from local languages. Sometimes the same name may be used for several species. For example, kiri is the Susu name for both Adansonia digitata and Drypetes afzelii. There is nothing unusual about such complications. For example, Grigson (1955) cites 52 English synonyms for the common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) in the British Isles, and also mentions several examples of the same vernacular name applying to different species. Even Theophrastus in c. 300 BC complained that there were three plants called strykhnos, which were edible, soporific or hallucinogenic (Hort 1916). Languages and history are linked and it is hoped that understanding how lan- guages spread will lead to the discovery of the historical origins of some of the vernacular names for the baobab. The classification followed here is that of Gordon (2005) updated and edited by Blench (2005, personal communication). Alternative family names are shown in square brackets, dialects in parenthesis. Superscript Arabic numbers refer to references to the vernacular names; Roman numbers refer to further information in Section 4.

    Studies in African Linguistics 85 Supplement 7, December 1977 IMPLICATIONS FOR UNIVERSAL GRAMMAR OF OBJECT-CREATING RULES IN LUYIA AND MASHI* Judith Olmsted Gary University of California at Los Angeles 1. Background and Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine on the basis of comparative data from several Bantu languages hypotheses made in prior papers by Gary [1975] and Gary and Keenan [1976, 1977] concerning the Relational Hierarchy (RH) in universal grammar: RH: Subject (Su) > Direct Object (DO) > Indirect Object (10) > Oblique Object (00) Gary and Keenan have outlined two contrasting views concerning the relation between the Relational Hierarchy and grammars of particular languages: the Comparative View proposed by Gary and Keenan, and the Generative View as attributed to Perlmutter and Postal [1974]. In the Generative View, the Relational Hierarchy categories refer to grammatical relations NPs bear to their verbs and are considered among the primitives of generative grammars. Su, DO, and 10 NPs are said to bear 'grammatical relations' to their verbs and are called terms. Relations such as Instrument and Locative which Oblique NPs bear to their verbs are not considered to be grammatical relations; these NPs are called nonterms. Transformations generating complex structures from simpler ones make specific reference to these relations; it is claimed that syntactic generalizations are more adequately captured by transformations specifically referring to these categories than by rules based on relations of dominance and linear order (see Chung [1976], Keenan [1976], Johnson [1974a,b]). Assumptions underlying the Generative View of the Relational Hierarchy which appear to distinguish it from the Comparative View of the *1 would like to thank Lee Trithart for reading this paper for me at the 8th Conference on African Linguistics at UCLA, April 1977, while I was in Egypt.

The vegetation around the research area was characterized as Mopane savanna, dominated by Colophospermum mopane. Historically, the Ovambo used mainly Mopane trunks for timber. However, as bush encroachment advanced in some parts of north-central Namibia, residents were forced to collect Mopane timber from the south. Since the 1970s, however, collecting Mopane has become diffi cult, and the inhabitants have therefore begun to use palm petioles for timber. Because the use of this resource requires many palm petioles, an environment conducive to grow many palms is required to make this option feasible. The vegetation confi guration of this environment was formed mainly by three factors: (1) the unique fl ood terrain initially dispersed palm seeds over a wide area, (2) humans involuntarily dispersed seeds after eating, (3) palms were conserved by the residents. Thus, the increased use of palms emerged at a point of intersection between a change in vegetation patterns and a change in plant use by humans.

  • The Role of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia (ELCIN)
    The role of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia (ELCIN) as a pioneer of social development through Education in Ovamboland (1870‐1970): A Church Historical Study Eino M. Nangula Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Theology in Church History in the Faculty of Theology University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Prof. R.R. Vosloo December 2013 I Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the authorship owner thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: ................................................ Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved II Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is a historical investigation of the role of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia (ELCIN) regarding social development with special attention to education as an agency of social change. ELCIN is the largest Lutheran church in Namibia, which was born out of the Finnish missionary activities after their arrival in the former Ovamboland in 1870. The Finnish missionaries became the first missionaries to do mission work in Ovamboland. This qualifies them to be regarded as pioneers of social development and of the transformation of society through education among the Ovambo people. ELCIN’s humble beginnings started as a mission field and developed into mission congregations; thereafter as a mission church and finally as independent church in 1954. The study shows that since its inception ELCIN has been committed to serve her members holistically (spiritually and socially).
