'bu 'nkafu ' (farm of cows)

A native Mashi-speaker from Bukavu told me today that the meaning is, rather 'small cow' (une pétite vâche). Perhaps he restricted his explanation to nkafu, which alone means 'small cow', beng a diminutive. In any case, I have added a citation needed tag. Nishidani (talk) 17:17, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
