One of those words we don't use.Thanks for the education.

The Kamusi Project is really slow most of the time, and moving from host to host.

So ?

"The Kamusi Project is really slow," and it returns big Kiswahili words.

So what Pundit?

No so quite,

...so and so.... and?!

-tekua =

• break down
• break up
• destroy
• take off the fire
• ruin
• undermine

Tafsiri ya "-tekua" kwenda kiingereza inatupeleka karibu na neno lipi, ...didimiza?

I was trying to find out from the Kamusi Project, and it did not let me.I was merely pointing out the technical difficulty associated with that charitable organization.This is an open discussion forum and one never know what sharing of a simple observation like that could bring.

Others could appreciate more the effort of our fellow who might have tried several times to get the meaning of the words.

Others could start an initiative to contribute towards the Kamusi Project (They accept donations you know)

Better yet, others could start another initiative towards a Swahili dictionary.

It was an open ended observation, totally unrelated to the narrow scope of the thread, on which I thanked the contributor from obtaining a rarely used word from the most authoritative source online.

If I may ask, what was the "So?" motivated by?
