The purpose of this article is to bring to notice an aspect of a Bantu language, which is not often touched upon in the conventional grammars, and the hope is expressed that its perusal may stimulate thought. Even if it but blazes a trail from which others may depart, the writing of it will not have been in vain. This article is both introductory and complementary to an article entitled “The ‘Idea’ Approach to Swahili”, which appeared in the Bulletin , Vol. VII, Part 4, 1935.
