Uzwane luyingxenye yonyawo. Abantu nezinkawu ezinkulu zinezinzwane ezinhlanu onyaweni ngalunye. Uzwane omkhulu ungaphakathi onyaweni kanti uzwane ungaphandle. Uma usho ubunye kuphela, ungathi “uzwane” noma “uzwane”, zombili zilungile.
Kubantu, unyawo lulingana nesandla. Uzwane lulingana nomunwe. Inzwane ngayinye kweziyisihlanu inozipho.
Uzwane luqukethe izitho eziningana. Uzwane omkhulu unamaphalange amabili, zonke ezinye izinzwane zinezintathu. Sidinga uzwane olukhulu kakhulu: ukugcina ibhalansi yethu futhi siphushe lapho sihamba.
Umehluko omkhulu wukuthi singakwazi ukunweba isithupha bese senza into yokuqinisa ngomunye umunwe. Ngeke sikwenze lokho ngozwane olukhulu. Ima ngokuhambisana nezinye izinzwane. Kuyafana nasezinkawini.
Zinjani izinzwane zezilwane?
Izinkawu kuphela ezinezingalo, izandla, neminwe njengabantu. Izilwane ezincelisayo ezisele zinemilenze yangemuva nengaphambili. Ngaphandle kwezinkawu, imilenze yangemuva nengaphambili ifana kakhulu, njengoba kunjalo nezinzwane.
Izinyawo nezinzwane ziyizici ezibalulekile ebudlelwaneni bezilwane. Wonke amahhashi ahamba kuphela phakathi kwezinzwani ezinhlanu. Ezinye izinzwane ezine sezicishe zaphela. Kwakheke inselo kusuka ozwaneni oluphakathi. Khona-ke umkhandi wensimbi ubethela isicathulo sehhashi.
Izilwane eziningi zihamba ngezinzwane ezimbili. Yingakho bebizwa ngokuthi “Paarhufer”. Lezi zihlanganisa izinyamazane, izinkomo, izimbuzi, izimvu, izingulube, amakamela, izindlulamithi, izinyamazane, nezinye eziningi.
Obhejane bahamba ngezinzwani ezintathu. Amakati anezinzwani ezinhlanu ngaphambili nezine ngemuva njengenja yasekhaya, impisi nezihlobo zabo. Izinyoni zinezinzwani ezimbili kuya kwezine. Ingxenye yayo ivame ukuhlotshaniswa namawebhu ewebhu.
