Kalenda [Calendar]: |
The simplest way to refer to months or moons [mba in Lugbara] is to use numbers, for example January is Mba alu, February is Mba iri not to be confused with July [Eri which is Mba aziri], May is Mba towi and so on. But below is the other latinized (and seasonal) way of mentioning them. The coming of each month used to help and still helps the Lugbara people to prepare what to plant in their gardens. This was and is done according to the months or seasons: |
1. Yanuari (Oco Ko Pa Hwio, Oco 'Dupa Sere) |
This is a term describing how "dogs which are seen running around lift up one of their front legs" due to the sweltering heat from the hot ground or soil. It is a period of no rain. |
2. Feburuli (Kuluni) |
Kulu is a locust grasshopper (but not Ise). It is a time of seeing young lads moving around with long sticks/ canes whose ends are strapped with sticky saps (from Laru tree) to trap/ catch the grasshoppers. In short, it is a time for catching grasshoppers. There is still no rain at this time. Intentional grass burning to prepare fields ready for tilling is rampant during this period. Sometimes grasses catch fire by themselves due to the intense sweltering heat. |
3. Marici (Zengulu or Ndukulu) |
This is when the sound of a distant thunder is heard. The start of the rainy season is approaching. |
