mũnyongoro

Kikuyu

Hinde (1904) records minyongora as an equivalent of English worm in “Jogowini dialect” of Kikuyu.[1]

As for Tonal Class, Benson (1964) classifies this term into Class 8 with a trisyllabic stem, together with ngũngũni, batĩrĩ, and so on.

(Kiambu) Yukawa (1981:123) classified this term into a group whose remaining members are mũratina, gĩtarũrũ and thungura.[2] Yukawa (1985) rearranges this term and thungura into another group including gĩcigĩrĩra and ngũngũni.[3]
