- Description: The raft zither is made out of eight palm midribs joined together. The string is continous being tuned from the high note downwards by straining the first then making up the slack in the second and so on. The tuning therefore is apt to be uncertain but conforms to the general mode. The music of the Pango is accompanied by dancing by three men, one having small bell rattles (Nzisi). When the player makes a pizzicato all the dancers bend down and make a 'ha-aa' sound in rhythm. The raft zither is about 22 inches long between the bridges. A cheerful song sung at the wedding by young men, on the same principa as the best man's kissing the bride. "Divorce your husband, I want to marry you." Tuning:- 352, 332, 296, 252, 212, 166, 198. This tuning is unusal in that the 7th note is higher than the 6th instead of being the lowest on the zither. One Kinanda dance for men and women, with Pango 7 string Raft Zither and Ngisi bells.

Enlarged arguments in Bantu : evidence from Chichewa

- Description: This paper re-examines two types of constructions that have featured in the discussion of possessor ascension in Bantu: one type – an applicative construction – is associated with alienable possession, and the other – non-applicative – is associated with inalienable possession. The study shows that the former expresses affectedness, and that the possessor reading arises only by construal; whereas the latter expresses a part–whole relationship. The paper argues that the two constructions differ in more significant ways than has previously been acknowledged; and that their distinct derivations cannot be captured by traditional possessor ascension (PA) analyses. The putative “alienable” possessor constructions belong to the class of (benefactive) applicative constructions and should be analyzed as such. The paper proposes that the so-called “inalienable” possessor constructions can best be accounted for by positing the existence of “enlarged arguments” wherein the possessum functions as a nominal predicate which more narrowly pinpoints the locus of the action described by the verb.

He was very disobedient and insisted upon finding and eating bones. Now when she was fully grown, she was about to marry a chief's son. On the day she was going to marry there was a big party. People were warned not to throw the bones on the floor because people might walk on them. But in fact the chief was afraid his daughter would pick them up and revert into being a dog. But the people did not pay attention. Then the girl began to pick up the bones and they all called out "child of a dog, child of a dog". So you see, there is nothing you can hide in the long run.

- Description: I have no child. But if you want to see a jackal go along the river bank and you will find a jackal there. Jackal, what killed my child? Jackal, will you be my child? The singer is blind and as with so many blind musicians he lets his fancy roam into poetry. Who and what the jackal might represent can only be conjecture. The lack of a child is a continual source of lamentation among many Africans. Lament with Chizambi musical bow.
