In the context the witness explained, it didn't make sense...

A good no of Kikuyu have this feature I think the implication is actually people from Central...but in the context he defined it, he was moving away from this. Does it have two or several meanings? maybe hidden in the intonation?

Kamama is a name in Kalenjin just as we have the name of Baringo East Mp as Asman Abongotum Kamama. Kap baba actually means "Homestead of my father", While "kap nostoppingthis" refers to home/homestead of nostoppingthis" Hope you now have answers. "Never regret, if its good, its wonderful. If its bad, its experience."

Nice! @Lolest revealed that it means persons of brown teeth, a Kale indicated that it means Kikuyus as used in kale talk....clarify further...the argument is that, in as much as you will say "Kamama"...the "P" is actually silent...

It seams a slang for Kikuyus but the suspects wants to denounce and confuse in equal measure. As Kisiis cal luos, Omogere en Luos call Kalenjins- Jalango The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence

I think there were two words he was asked to clarify on their meanings. There's the 'kap mama' word which means 'homestead of the uncle', and another word that I cant remember which means brown teeth. He went on to say that there are Kaleos from south rift who also have brown teeth. Guess its a case of making murky waters murkier. Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

What are you guys going on about? I think i read different. The word for brown teeth is ‘mur gelda’ and the word kap mama is used to describe ‘The Uncle’s Place’ in normal usage..  Common sense is the most evenly distributed quantity in the world. Everyone thinks he has enough.

Inuendo, thank you. That's the word I was looking for. Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

@Inuendo, yes, in normal usage it should mean that...but try and replace in a sentence with what it might mean for kaleos...

It's like you've been given an answer but, even without knowledge of the language, still insist it has another meaning. Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

This is because some Kaleo explained to me how they use it...was seeking clarity...seems like a sensitive matter, doesn't it?
