N’ibibanza umwami yabamwo vyategerezwa kubahwa kugira agumane icubahiro ciwe. Inzu y’umwami yitwa ingoro. Bafatira ku bwiza n’ubunini bwayo. Inzu yaba iri mu rugo bita ikirimba. Mu nzu haba hari iziko bita icoto, aho umwami yicara akota. Uburiri nabwo bakabwita ikirwa. Aha turamaze kwumva imvyino yitwa “Ngoma y’ikirwa ndamuzanye…”idondora umukobwa n’icubahiro bamuha gifatiye ku ngoma n’aho iyo ngoma yagenewe.
