Babemban.

Brit.

/bəˈbɛmbə/, U.S.

/bəˈbɛmbə/

Forms:

α. 1800s Ba-bemba, 1800s– Ba-Bemba, 1800s– Babemba, 1900s– Ba Bemba, 1900s– Ba bemba, 1900s– BaBemba, 2000s– ba Bemba, 2000s– baBemba.

β. 1800s Wa-Wemba, 1800s Wa-wemba, 1800s– Wawemba (now rare, Brit. /wəˈwɛmbə/, U.S. /wəˈwɛmbə/), 1900s Ba-wemba, 1900s Bawemba, 1900s Vavemba, 1900s– WaWemba (rare).

Origin: A borrowing from Bemba. Etymon: Bemba babemba.

Etymology: < Bemba babemba the Bemba people < ba- , plural class prefix denoting people + -bemba , self-designation (see Bemba n.); compare (with initial augment) ababemba , in the same sense (compare Awemba n. and the discussion at Bemba adj.).In Bemba, b (except after m ) represents a voiced bilabial fricative /β/, which is often perceived as /w/ or not heard at all by speakers of English. The forms Ba-wemba and Bawemba at β. forms perhaps arose by analogy with the names of other peoples with a cognate class prefix.

Now rare.

A Bantu-speaking people inhabiting the north-eastern part of Zambia and the neighbouring areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire). Now usually known as Bemba (see Bemba n. 1). Cf. Awemba n.
