Iimbovane zikhula kwiintloko zamaxhama amaninzi. Iimpondo zenziwe ngethambo kwaye zinamasebe. Rhoqo ngonyaka zilahla iimpondo zazo, ngoko ke ziyaphulukana nazo. Imazi yenyamakazi ineempondo. Kwimeko yexhama elibomvu, ixhama, nexhama, ziinkunzi kuphela ezineempondo.
Imazi yexhama ifuna ukuchukumisana ngeempondo zayo, okt ukubonisa ukuba ngubani onamandla ngakumbi. Ziphinde zilwe zodwa ngeempondo zazo, ubukhulu becala zingonzakalisi. Inkunzi ebuthathaka kufuneka emva koko ithi shwaka. Inkunzi eyomeleleyo iyavunyelwa ukuba ihlale kwaye izale neemazi. Yiyo loo nto umntu ethetha “ngenja ephezulu” ngendlela efuziselayo: ngumntu onganyamezeliyo omnye umntu ecaleni kwakhe.
Ixhama alikabi nayo impondo, yaye alikakulungeli ukuzala. Inyamakazi endala ilahlekelwa ziimpondo zayo emva kokukhwelana. Igazi lakhe liyanqanyulwa. Emva koko iyafa kwaye ikhule kwakhona. Oku kunokuqala ngokukhawuleza okanye kwiiveki ezimbalwa. Kwimeko nayiphi na into, kufuneka yenziwe ngokukhawuleza, kuba ngaphantsi konyaka inkunzi yenkomo iya kufuna i-antlers kwakhona ukukhuphisana nabasetyhini ababalaseleyo.
Iimpondo akufanele zibhidaniswe neempondo. Iimpondo zinekhowuni eyenziwe ngethambo kuphela ngaphakathi kwaye ibandakanya "uphondo" olungaphandle, oko kukuthi ulusu olufileyo. Ukongezelela, iimpondo azinamasebe. Zithe tye okanye zingqukuva kancinci. Iimpondo zihlala zihleli ubomi babo bonke, njengoko zisenjenjalo kwinkomo, iibhokhwe, iigusha nezinye izilwanyana ezininzi.
