And on a related note, if ever I try to say Xhosa, the o becomes nasalised.
Is this some weirdness that only I suffer from, or is it normal (even if
not correct). If your wondering, my history teacher (from South Africa)
regularly mentions the word as she teaches us about the apartheid regime,
and understandably everyone tries to mimick the click.
