References

page 82 note 1 i.e. bad upbringing.

page 82 note 2 Modu Laamin's book should be ‘teer'i Modu Laamin’. There could possibly have been a play on tere (prevent) as in Yalla tere, God forbid, and teere, a book.

page 83 note 1 Presumably related to root wambu—catty on the back.

page 83 note 2 This appears to be a play on the various syllables, the though possibly it implies that ‘crying would end beating’.
