Eish maar hoekom Carsten?
The words in this thread are not in the dictionary.
I feel ashamed/lazy/sheepish every time I see M'Dava expanding the dictionary, but I console myself about my finest work on -Q-. It turns out the words are not in yet.

Carsten please enter these fine words in the dictionary.

Yebo. Musa ukungisheshisa! I forgot about it ... and it looks like loads of work anyway ... <sigh>

Finally done. Well, most of them at least (and many words were already there anyway). But I have some difficulties with the following words that I double checked with Doke's dictionary. Being aware of its age I'd like you guys to confirm/shed some light on these:

According to http://www.biodiversityexplorer.org/mammal..._campestris.htm this is a steenbok

No wild guesses please. What does this word mean exactly? "Woman in her thirties"? Doke says: "Full-grown girl" (which is somewhat different).

Doke says: "gevuza" (chatter, talk incessantly). Can we add "to babble/jabber/gabble"?

Doke:

• Sit at ease, settle down comfortably
  
• Sit at table
  
• Stand aloof
  

Doke: "Strain (the eyes)"

I found "guzuka" with this meaning. Is "qhuzuka" an alternate spelling?

Doke:

• qotha: grind, pulverize
  
• qhotha: stoop
  

Found this one as "qubukula".

Doke: "protrude the buttocks" (yes, you have to bend over to do that but it's a different thing).

Doke:

• Discolour, darken
  
• Invigorate, strengthen
  
• Pour from a height
  
• Brew
  
• Encourage
  

As these are nouns, please give the classes (or the singular and plural forms).

I have no problem with that, it might be regional.

Iqaba (n)
Ubuqaba (v)

Iqaba (s)
Amaqaba (pl)

I can live with “Full-grown girl”

This is the same thing, the emphasis on –Q- might be regional.

Here I am not sure what to say as both Doke and I involve seating in the explaination.

e.g. Musa ukungiqhunsulela amehlo wena, khuluma.
i.e. Stop starring at me, talk.
I can still take Doke, but you can maybe expand it a bit.

To me guzuka is more like huzuka, which is to bruise.

Qothama is more appropriate here.
This is when you are sitting on the floor, with your knees pointing up (as opposed to the sides.)

Phakamisa is a synonym to qubula.

I was wrong there, “protrude the buttocks” is more correct/proper.

Doke also said Encourage, which is what I was aiming at.
e.g Qunga isibindi Carsten.Be brave carsten.
