ABSTRACT

We don’t know why he is doing this for Rara. Perhaps he is teasing her with it. Whatever the specifi c reason, he knows that he can make it interesting to her as a surface and he knows how to position it so that she can view it comfortably from her station-point. It is as if he is holding a book open before a small child or holding a picture up for her to look at. Nkosi is interested in anything unusually fl at (including very slightly concave and convex forms) and he is sharing this interest with his little sister. The following observation takes place 2 years 2 months 27 days later and is an instance of Nkosi displaying two key axes of an object to Rah.
