Umzwelo wemvelo uyindlela engokwemvelo ezilwaneni hhayi into efundwayo. Umzwelo wemvelo uwuhlobo oluphambene nokuhlakanipha. Abanye abacwaningi baphinde bakhulume ngomzwelo wemvelo uma kuziwa kubantu. Igama livela kwisiLatini: "ingqondo engokwemvelo" isho into efana nokugqugquzela noma ukushayela.
Isibonelo yindlela izilwane ezinakekela ngayo amaphuphu azo. Izilwane zenza lokhu ngendlela ehluke kakhulu: ezinye izinhlobo zezilwane zivele zilahle amaphuphu azo, njengamaxoxo. Izindlovu, ngakolunye uhlangothi, zithatha isikhathi eside kakhulu futhi zinakekela izindlovu ezincane. Banomqondo wemvelo ohlukile kunamaxoxo.
