replies: text: Um, okay. No I didn't have any idea it was that complicated (I'd never even heard of clan names till I came across this in "Clicking with Xhosa"! But now I understand why Zolani from Freshlyground starts off a lyric with "Dlamini!" in Nomvula...). So how does it work? Is a praise name different from a clan name? Are they all hereditory, or are some earned? (such as praise names) And are surnames just a European import, or do they exist along with all these others? *Sigh* I've just realised just how much work needs to be done on indigenous African cultures - things seem to be falling into place in my head about the shadows you were talking about on African Traditional Religion, family, ubuntu, and clan/family/sub-clan structure...

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND EVERY ONE SHOULD BE USING THIER FATHERS CLAN BUT BECOUSE MY FATHER WAS NEVER A PART OF MY LIFE SO I ENDED UP MY MOTHERS THATS HOW ITS DONE IN MY CLAN. FROM WHAT I KNOW CLAN NAMES WERE NAMES OF OUR UNSESTOR AS MY CLAN NAME IS MAMNTLANE THAT MEANS IN MY FAMILY THERE WAS A ANSETSTOR BY THAT NAME BUT BCZ OF THE APARTEID ERA THEY NEEDED A SECOND NAME FOR WHAT EVER RESEON AND THATS WHERE SURNAMES COME FROM.

AmaQhinebe ngamaGcaleka, le yingcaciso endiyifumana kumaQhinebe noko asele ekhulile.
Umzekelo amaQhinebe ayazibophelela ngokuthi angavumi ukuba anda de kubekho izindlu ezahlukeneyo ngoku.
e.g (1) uQhinebe uzala
Haha uzala
Mlunjwa uzala
Tyibo noMatyeni yena azale uMngxuma kanti uTyibo uzala ababalandelayo
amawele uChamama noSomadobo kunye noTyhenge nentombi uNothungashe
UChamama wandile ndiyayazi indzala yakhe.
Kanti yena uNothungashe zange ende yiyolonto ukwazi ukufumana amaQhinebe angoThungashe.
Ke yena uTyhenge omnye wenzala yakhe uyayinika lembali.
Ke mna ke ndiphuma kweliwele lingu Somadobo.
uSomadobo ubenabafazi abathathu kwindlu enkulu uzele u Tofile
UTofile yena nenzala yakhe baseGcuwa, bandile phaya.
Mna ke ndiphuma ekunene lika Somadobo, kunyana uNGQENGQA.
Yena ke uphaya eNqabarha.
Uzele naye uNgqengqa abantwaba abaninzi.
Kubo ngu Hlabiskhumba
ozele u Vellem
Ozele uMasakhane/Hlokomile
ozala Mna Mthetheleli Khumbizile Vellem
I was trying to show that sibanye singamaQhinebe futhi sandile. Ndithi ke singamaGcaleka thina.
Ewe kukho amaQhinebe athi wona angamaMpondomise kuba athi ashiyekela ngemva ngexesha lemfuduko. UMatyeni ozala ungxuma nguyena owabuyela ekhaya khulu lakwaMlunjwa, yiyo ke lonto amaQhinebe athi angamaMpondimise.
IN ESSENCE I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT AMAQHINEBE AZALWE NGEXESHA LIKAPHALO AND MY UNQUALIFIED RESEARCH TELLS ME THAT TYIBO SON OF MLUNJWA PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE DURING HINTSA WAR/ GCUWA BATTLE.
MY RESEARCH CONTINUES. PLS ENGAGE COME WITH OWN RESEARCH.
MNA KE NDINGUQHINEBE UGQUGQUGQU UZITHONGA ZITHATHU UHAHA UMKHOMANZI, UMLUNJWA, INKONJANE EMNYAMA EDLALAEMAFINI.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.145.211.78 (talk) 10:14, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Ndiyabhotisa. Ndingu Nathi Sishuba, uMbongo, uMbuyisa, uMvemnyama, uNgqalela, uMathomana... ndiye ndibhideke ndakufika phaya ekhaya eMthatha ndive abanye OoSishuba bakwaphaya ekhaya ngqo bezibiza ngoZibula, ooNomandla, Sihlahla somnquma, ooMtlwana... bendifuna ukuphononga ukuba ingaba siyibhuda phi lento kuba akunakwenzeka sithi sizalwa endlini enye siphinde sibize iziduko ezingafaniyo.
Xa ndisiva, ukhokhokazi wafumana abantwana eyintombi yaye ke nje ngokwesiko lesiXhosa abantwana baye babiza ifani nesiduko sakulomama, lento iyandibhida ngenene kuba andibazi OoSishuba abazibiza ukuba bangoZibula, yaye lengxoxo ishushu kwaphaya ngaphakathi endlini.
Kuye kuthiwe ke ngamanye amaxesha xa umntu ebuza nje ngomntana efuna ukuqonda indlela, athi uMakhulu sindwebile.
Ndingayivuyela ingcazelo banzi ngomzi wakwaSishuba, amaBongo, ooMbuyisa futhi ndifuna nokwazi nangoZibula uba udibana njani noSishuba. 
Enkosi.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.2.89.177 (talk) 13:37, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
