Iinzwane zinamazipho, ngaphandle kwenzwane yangaphakathi elapha emva konyawo, yona ke inezipho elilungisiweyo liphinde ligobe. Izithende zeenyawo zize, isikhumba sayo esingqindilili sinoboya, inyama ethile pha emzimbeni yiyo egcina indawo imanzi ukunyusa ibambelele. Lonto yenza ukuba ikwazi ukunyuka iintaba namatye ngokukhululeka.
