Recorded Praise Names
These are praise names, not a full recitation.

Where community sources differ on a praise, both readings are kept. A regional form and a transcription slip are indistinguishable to anyone who is not a first-language reader.
Written down by families and by the people who recorded them.
About This Record
What Was Written Down
The third house of Nkosiyamntu, recorded as having sided with Tshawe against Cirha. the izithakazelo.blog directory and the nivile.co.za directory both open the sequence with Vongwe, which iziduko.wordpress.com does not carry.
Families Tell This Differently
Families who carry this name tell parts of it differently. Each way it has been told is below.
The sources diverge
- Vongwe first (the izithakazelo.blog directory, the nivile.co.za directory)
- Mtika first (iziduko.wordpress.com)
Two lists that otherwise agree open differently. Neither has been chosen; both are recorded and a first-language isiXhosa reader decides whether Vongwe belongs at the head of this sequence.

If Your Family Holds More Of This
A family saying its own izinqulo knows them better than any directory does. If yours has more than what is on this page, it belongs here.
