Kakamega: Namensherkunft Hat jemand Quellen für die Behauptung die Übersetzung sei "Ort des Todes"? Im englischen Wiki ist nichts vermerkt und die Benennung nach einem einheimischen Vogel erscheint mir sinniger.


So ich habe nachgefragt: [14:34] : It has to do with when the INDIANS first came to Kakamega. [14:34] : the first name of Kakamega was SHYEYWE [14:34] : then the Indians were eating and the cut the food withtheir fingers then the black people said KHAKHAMEKA wich means he has cut it. and since the Indians could not pronounce it correctly they said Kakamega dn that is how it ended up being The name of the Place.

[14:34] : and the place of death is a village called SHIMALA VANDU: [14:34] : that is a Luhya word that means to finish peole. [14:34] : so now u have the real meaning of the two places .
