The spreading of this ideophone can best be shown on a map and signifies the orgin of a light source - the sun. This ideophone is the basis to the formation of the Ancient Egyptian words to denote light and Sun. As an example consider these two sentences and contrast how the concept of the sun can be used in two Bantu Languages Lingala and Kiswahili. Two examples in Kiswahili to illustrate their usage. The period of Muaka is a special period when planting and sowing takes place.
Land is burned, and prepared for new growth, so that building progress can be made.
It denotes the regeneration of life, making anew, afresh of plants, and fertility of land. The word AKA is by no means exhaustive in its usage. The ancient Egyptian frequently used it with its double meaning. An exploration of this word will be considered further at a later date. The Kiswahili-Bantu word for horizon is quite different to the Ancient Egyptian horizon.
