Palibe kusiyana kwakukulu kapena kodetsa nkhaŵa kumene kumasonyezedwa kaya m’Chipangano Chakale kapena Chatsopano. Mulibe mawu osiyidwa kapena owonjezeredwa odetsa nkhaŵa kwambiri, ndipo mulibe kusiyana kumene kumayambukira maumboni ofunika kapena ziphunzitso. Kusiyana kwa lemba kumayambukira nkhani zazing’ono monga ngati za mawu kapena mawu enieni ogwiritsiridwa ntchito . . . Koma chofunika chawo chachikulu ndicho kutsimikiza kwake, mwaumboni wakale koposa wopezeka panthaŵiyo, kukhulupirika kwa malembo athu amene alipo.”—(London, 1933), p. 15.
