About this book
The title Ohungipeki refers to a conversion of oral heritage into written form. The ohungi sessiontraditionally takes place in the evening during which oral stories, riddles, taboos, and traditions are taughtto children. This book literally puts the teaching of the evening assembly in the hand.The author's rich command of Oshindonga revives archaic words that are not often used in writings oftoday and adds linguistic depth to the record of history and tradition. The book aims to capture significantinformation about the past for the sake of new and future generations (Embo ndika, nando lya nuninwaomuleshi kehe, otali neke unene omapipi omape...) and introduces readers to stories, forms of greeting, ceremonies, rituals, praise songs, ethics, fears, expectations, beliefs and the cosmology of the Aawamboin general and the Ondonga people in particular. The book will therefore prove valuable not only totraditionalists, but also to parents, teachers, linguists, ethnographers, social scientists and students ofphilosophy, history, culture and ethics, provided they have an understanding of the language.
