Igama elithi *it*

Umsebenzi wokuziqhelisa olandelayo kukudibanisa unobumba i nonobumba t ukuze senze igama lethu lokuqala, elithi it, isimelabizo esingabhekiseli emntwini esiNgesini. Kwakhona, kudala, igama elithi it lalisetyenziselwa abantwana, kodwa asisakwenzi oko. Kodwa malunga neminyaka engama-200 eyadlulayo, ukuba ubufunda incwadi, abantu babethetha ngosana besithi it. Kwaye ngoku sithi it kuphela xa sithetha ngezilwanyana, neetafile nezitulo. Nokuba kunjalo, kwanele ngembali yegama elithi it.

Ngoko nantsi into oza kuyenza. Umzekelo ulapho.

Sele sizazi ii-engile nemigama. Sithi: nyuka kancinci, yehla ngamandla, size senze ukutsiba kwethu okuncinci, siqhubeke sinyuka kancinci, size sinyuke siye kunobumba t, yehla ngamandla, size sitsibe kancinci kanye ngaphambi komgca. Emva koko sibuyela umva, sibeke ichaphaza kunobumba i, sinqumle unobumba t, emva kokuba sigqibile.

Ngoko sinemizobo emibini, kwaye yahlukile. Omnye ngunobumba i, onyuka nje aye emgceni, aze ehle ngamandla, atsibe kancinci; emva koko kuza isidibanisi, sinyuka, sinyuka siye phezulu ngakumbi. Emva koko sihla ngqo, singagobanga, ngqo, kodwa kwi-engile efanayo nekanobumba i, size sitsibe kancinci ezantsi, size sibeke ichaphaza sinqumle. Emva koko siyaphinda. Senza umgca wamagama athi it.

Njengoko siqhubeka, jonga ukuba oonobumba bakho abehli ngaphantsi komgca. Jonga ngerula ukuba ii-engile ziyafana. Ungakwenza oko ngokuzoba imigca edlula koonobumba bakho, uze ubone ngokucacileyo ngakumbi ukuba ii-engile zakho zichanekile na. Akukho nto iphosakeleyo ngoko. Thatha nje ipensile okanye enye into, uthathe irula, ubeke nje irula phezu komgca oyintloko kanobumba wakho uzobe umgca odlula kuye; wenze ube mde. Emva koko ungabona ngokucacileyo kakhulu ukuba ii-engile zakho ziyalingana na, zikwi-engile enye na. Kuba ungazikhohlisa ukuba akwenzi oko, uzenze ngathi yonke into ilungile kanti akunjalo.

Kwaye qinisekisa ukuba imigama phakathi koonobumba bakho iyalingana. Ngoko unobumba wakho i nonobumba wakho t kufuneka babe kumgama ofanayo phakathi kwabo qho xa uzoba igama elithi it. Kwaye zama ukugcina izithuba phakathi kwamagama zifana. Ungasebenzisa isithuba somnwe phakathi kwamagama ukuba ufuna ukulinganisa.

Kwaye masiqhubeke. Yenza iphepha elipheleleyo lawo.
