what is hako


Fafanua. Which hako? Like "hako ka mtu" or "uuki wa hako", "ngoima ya hako" or in what context?

I am sure its not hako ka mtu smile
a guy I know told me they went into the forest for hako, he seemed very passionate and said after that he is now a respected mzee.


Traditionalists slaughter this for men as a precursor of mburi ya kiama. Hako in this context is 'kuhaka' meaning you are appeasing (kwihakanirira, kuhakanirirwo) for some recognition. Hapo sawa?

so after that he will have to go back and do kiama, but what I didn't get was the importance placed, and I was told that not many men get to do that, I am sure most people can afford a goat, lakini thank nimepata kusoma hapo.

Kindly someone enlighten me which generation we are in.....I only read about iregi, mathaathi and ndemi.

Also, I've read quite a bit about Ituíka, but found no literature or knowledge post 1900's. Anyone with information?
