I really enjoyed the video. Kameno kase😊. In Luhya Marachi lero has two meanings- today and nowadays. Mum- mama Mouth - Omunwa Teeth - Ameno Cat - ipusi Rain - ifula Old people - abakofu one (omukofu). Can also mean a husband. Omukofu wange ( my husband). Omushiere is an elderly woman and also means a wife. Omushiere wange (my wife) Grandfathers - abakuka (one, kuka) Dog - imbwa Soil - liloba Tongue - Lulimi Body - Omubiri
