Tujifunze KiSwahili (zaidi)

Wakati fulani nilifanikiwa kupata maandiko yaliyoelezea kazi na mchango wa Profesa Sheikh Nabhany kuhusu KiSwahili. Ama kwa hakika maneno yake na masimulizi aliyoyafanya wakati fulani katika redio ya BBC Swahili alinisababisha niwe na hamu ya kukipenda, kukisoma na kukitumia zaidi KiSwahili.
Nilipata bahati ya kuhifadhi nukuu ya yaliyokuwa yameandikwa katika tovuti fulani . Sina anwani ya tovuti ya kuelekeza penye chanzo cha habari hii kwa kuwa tovuti husika haipatikani tena mtandaoni. Tafadhali ukitumia na kufaidi lolote kutokana na haya, basi shukrani zimwendee mwenyewe Profesa Ahmed Sheikh Nabhany, O.G.W.

The Building of Synonyms in the Language of Kiswahili by Prof. Ahmed Sheikh Nabhany, O.G.W.

.... for the word for "Television" I joined three words:
(1) "rununu" (news), (2) "yakuenga" (to observed things), and (3) "kwa maninga" (by eyes). Now to the Waswahili "rununu" is news that comes from afar and then comes into the city. Therefore this news is brought by jinn (genies), or so is the belief of the Waswahili. Now this is the news from afar and therefore this news from afar is news ("rununu") for seeing with the eyes. Therefore the function of the television is to broadcast news for seeing with the eyes. To shorten that word we cut it. From "rununu" we took "ru", and from "kuenga" we took "nga", and from "maninga" we took "nga". Thus we left one "nga". Then it was "rung". Now because we put in "ninga" for the sake of melodiousness, we then had "runinga".
Then I invented words which were not in the parlance of science nor common use by employing ancient words which people do not know are able to be used. These which follow are only a few old words that I invented and those whichare not known these days:
