Portuguese term or phrase: soma / soba
yyy, mãe de meu pai xxx, ainda vivo, e neta de zzz, ***soma***, fundador da minha aldeia natal, a que deu o nome, atestou-me de forma inequívoca que seu avô não conheceu outra subordinação senão a da dinastia do reino umbundo Wambu Kalunga, entrando apenas em contacto com os portugueses em Ombaka, Benguela, em actos de comércio, especialmente de borracha e cera, em troca de produtos portugueses.
Esta é uma realidade semelhante à de muitos povos pré-existentes à constituição formal e material de Angola, que só acontece depois de Berlim.
Com ele, ainda hoje, abordo estas matérias, atinentes ao século XIX, num tempo em que nossos antepassados não estavam enquadrados na colónia de Angola.
De onde deriva a corruptela portuguesa*** soba***.
