If anything they should give it an indigenous name not the name of some child.

I suggest you stick to the writtings of "birthdays ya dada Doreen in Newyork", where you seem to be able to punch well above your weight. New species of different animals/creatures are discovered everyday, and this "supposedly newly discovered snake" may have been familiar to the locals, but not in the world database of species. Afterall, they only claim to have discovered the new species and not invented it. Discovery and invention are two different words which can be translated into the same word in swahili to most swahilis who speak swahili as a second language. To most swahili speakers those two words translate into "Gundua and Vumbua", which are also two different words. Most folk cannot work out the difference between "Gundua and Vumbua". This may cause some controversy now and again but personally I dont see what the fuss is all about. Scientific explorations and ethnocentric kneejerk reactions do not have to be mutually inclusive.<br /><br />Tafadhali mwambie dada Doreen anialike kwenye birthday yake ijayo.<br /><br />Wakatabahu.MATANGALUnoreply@blogger.com
