Although the Buluba-Lulua language of the Kongo region is remarkably rich in some directions, it shows a no less remarkable paucity of terms In other directions. For example, there is no word for the' young of living creatures —the indefinite muana (child) is used for gll alike. There Is no single word for brother, sister or mother-in-law. The native recognizes only three distinct colors—red, white and black; there is nothing for green or yellow or mauve or saffron pink. The verb dlla is made to do pervice for cry, bawl, bleat, squeal, sing, roar, preach, croak, argue, bray, lecture Or tick (as a watch). There are no pronouns indicating sex. There is no satisfactory word for love. The same word which the native uses for God’s love he must also use to express his liking for salt or his preference for a certain kind of blanket Sometimes one fairly cries out in agony for a word to replace some of the strong English terms, like ought, duty, niust, obligation, graft, etc.—Rev. W. M. Morrison.
