Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source is the work of a professional ethnographer
whose data were gathered from native informants. It contains a detailed accounting of Zulu
kinship terms, claiming for them a common origin with the terminological systems of related
non-Zulu Bantu peoples, especially Xosa (FX17) and Ndebele (FX18). He argues that
differences among the terminological systems discussed are related to differences among
these groups in behavioral patterns, including especially marital regulations and the
relative import of seniority status within the family and the sib.
