Isithelo

Kumchazazitshalo, **isithelo** siwuhlaka  oluzala imbewu ezitshalweni eziqhakazayo olubumbeka esizalweni ngemuva kokuqhakaza. Ukuthela izithelo yindlela izitshalo eziqhakazayo ezaziwa nangokuthi amathelmbali (angiosperm) ezisabalalisa imbewu ngayo yazo. Izithelo ezidliwayo ikakhulukazi sekuyisikhathi eside zisakazwa kusetshenziswa ukufuduka kwabantu nezilwane ebudlelwaneni obusondelene obuyindlela yokusakazeka kwembewu kweqembu elilodwa nokondleka kwelinye; empeleni, abantu nezilwane eziningi sebencike ezithelweni njengomthombo wokudla. Ngenxa yalokho, izithelo zibanga ingxenye enkulu yomkhiqizo wezolimo emhlabeni, kanti ezinye (njenge- iphumezi nehalananda ) zithole izincazelo eziningi zamasiko nezimpawu.

Ekusetshenzisweni kolimi okuvamile, "isithelo" ngokujwayelekile ibizo elisho izakhiwo ezihambisana nembewu (noma umkhiqizo) wezitshalo ezivame ukuba mnandi noma muncu futhi zidliwe endaweni eluhlaza, njengama- iphumezi, ubhanana, umhleke, umhlina, intshungwa, kanye namaumkomfana. Lapho lisetshenziswa ngokomcazazitshalo igama elithi "izithelo" lifaka izinhlaka eziningi ezingenziwanga ezivame ukubizwa ngokuthi "izithelo", ezifana amantongomane, izindumba zamaqobolondo, izikhwebu zombila, intshelane, kanye nomdloyo okusanhlamvu.
