Like the Manganja, these people salute by clapping their hands.

When a man comes to a place where others are seated, before sitting down he claps his hands to each in succession, and they do the same to him.

If he has anything to tell, both speaker and hearer clap their hands at the close of every paragraph, and then again vigorously at the end of the speech.

The guide, whom the headman gave us, thus saluted each of his comrades before he started off with us.
There is so little difference in the language, that all the tribes of this region are virtually of one family.
We proceeded still in the same direction, and passed only two small hamlets during the day.

Except the noise our men made on the march, everything was still around us: few birds were seen.
