Four Meanings Of Ombili Plus A Letter Poem by Kimberly Burnham

Peace in Oshiwambo
also a small area in Katutura, Windhoek
in the Khomas Region, Namibia
a suburb of Mariental, Namibia
a foundation north of Tsumeb
aimed at improving living conditions
for the Khoesan or San people in Namibia

And add an N and you get
Nombili peace in Kwanyama or Kuanyama
another language spoken
in Angola and Namibia

The Khoesan people have also borrowed
"ombili" peace as a greeting
words from the Oshiwambo
making their way into the language
of Akhoe speakers
