Kha inwe nyimelo tshi ya kona na u tshila nga maṱari tshi dzhiiwa sa tshithu tshine tsha ḽa maṱari nga matungo a o. Tshi vha tshi tshi khou gwa tshi tshi khou ṱoḓana na midzi ine ya vha uri ayo ngo khwaṱha. Phylloxera i vha hone kha mavu manzhi na miri ine midzi ya hone yo phaḓalala ndi yone ine ya vha na zwikhokhonono. Hei ndi miri ine ya hula ina midzi ya hone.
