Excerpt from A Zulu-English Dictionary: With Notes on Pronunciation, a Revised Orthography and Derivations and Cognate Words From Many Languages; Including Also a Vocabulary of Hlonipa Words, Tribal-Names, Etc., Synopsis of Zulu Grammar and a Concise History of the Zulu People
I regret that I am unable to attest to the accuracy of many of the Native names for birds. Owing to the similarity in colour of so many separated species, to the changing of the plumage according to different seasons, and to the fact of the male birds being frequently so unlike the females, the Natives have become consider ably confused in their nomenclature, so that it has often been impossible for me to discover the exact bird for which any particular name has been coined. Careful and extensive enquiries have in every case been made, oftentimes only to make the con fusion worse confounded. Howbeit, wherever I have ventured to insert a scientific name, I have confidence that it will generally be found accurately affixed. Some corrections, however, based on later investigations, will be found in the Appendix.
The same remark applies also to the Natal names for fishes, as well as to words denoting the particular colour-markings and the shape of horns of cattle. The names of fishes, as the sign (n) will show, are not pure Zulu words, being mainly con fined to the few fish-eating Natives residing along the Natal coast, main y about Dur ban, and have probably been invented by them in quite recent times, since they have adopted the fish-eating habit, which the Zulus proper have not.
