Two lenge folktales
A Probable Creation- and Flood-Myth in Portuguese East Africa
The Impact of Mohammedanism On Paganism in the Liberian Hinterland
Perched on rocky ground, like little colonies of limpets, the villages and hamlets of the Gbandi, Kisi and Loma tribes of the Liberian Hinterland are scattered on densely wooded hills or in jungle clearings. Gbandi and Kisi are sometimes symbiotic, sharing the same village in different sections, each with its own chief or headman. In Masambolahun, the Mandingo are symbiotic with the Gbandi. In trying to study the complexity of the religious belie…
The Religion of Genghis Khan (a.D. 1162-1227)
An analysis of folktales of the lenge, Portuguese East Africa
A collection of Lenge folktales reminds one of relics to be found in an ancient mound or ash-heap used by successive tribes, containing potsherds, bones, shells, with more modern tools on the surface.

Opening ParagraphSofala, Portuguese East Africa, is not very easy of access. The journey has to be made from Beira, in a small hired motor-boat, and takes about six hours in favourable weather, but the Indian Ocean in the vicinity of Beira is often notoriously rough. In the dry season, part of the journey may be made overland, in a machila or travellinghammock. On our forward voyage in January 1930, the engine of the motor-boat was put out of act…
A Chopi (ΤΣƆΠΙ) Love-Song and a Story in Ki-Lenge
A young man named Nyagumbe starts off to seek a bride. He finds the girl he wants; but while he is staying at her parents' home, she shows no signs of returning his love. He therefore refuses to take the food she prepares for him. The girl's mother advises her to love the young man, and then all will be well. Nyagumbe is secretly amused at his own plans for winning the girl's affection
