Amapondon.adj.

Brit.

/ˌaməˈpɒndəʊ/, U.S.

/ˌæməˈpɑndoʊ/, South African English /ˌʌməˈpɒndəʊ/

Inflections: Plural Amapondos.

Forms:

α. 1800s Amaponda, 1800s– Amapondo, 1900s– AmaPondo.

β. 1800s– Amampondo, 1900s– AmaMpondo, 1900s– AmamPondo (nonstandard).

Origin: A borrowing from Xhosa. Etymon: Xhosa amaMpondo.

Etymology: < Xhosa amaMpondo < ama-, plural class prefix denoting people + -Mpondo, self-designation ( < the name of Mpondo, the (perhaps legendary) founding leader of this people).The Xhosa etymon is a plural form (singular iMpondo or umMpondo Pondo person); English use as singular, and hence plural forms with -s , are secondary developments. The α. forms appear to have developed in English, probably by dissimilation.

A. n.

In singular and plural. The Nguni people of the Eastern Cape province in South Africa. See Pondo n.
