hi Carsten, a minor point. You have listed computer as ikhompiyutha, ikhompuyutha. I have also found that the KDE open source project have come up with ikhompyutha as the Zulu translation , also an article in Isolezwe uses this word. (I do appreciate that it is often specified as the Xhosa).

Coincidentally, I also found the same word and some financial terms at http://www.finlit.org.za/Modules/Module1/M1U16/glossary01.htm
which would seem to be quite authoritative, so I'll have to scour through that lot myself at some future time.. what fun that looks! :-)

David

I think this is enough evidence to include it in the database. Although I don't remember encountering a "py" in Zulu so far - looks strange to me.
