Kwikala ngikazhi wa mu Loma kwalengelanga muntu kwingilako mingilo imo ne kubakotu bintu bikwabo ku mpunzha konse ko aya. Mwina Loma walondelangatu mizhilo ya bena Loma kwapwa, kechi mizhilo ya mu bibunji bingi ne. Inge muntu bamupamo mambo, waswanga kumutotolwesha kwesakana na mizhilo, nangwa byonkabyo, bamuswishanga kutwala mambo anji ku kije kya bena Loma. Umvwe muntu bamutaana na mambo a kuba’mba wafwainwa kufwa, bamuswishanga kwiatwala ku mfumu.

O ene mambo Cicero mwina Loma ye banemekele bingi mu bya bumulwila ntanda mu myaka kitota kitanshi, o anembejile’mba: “Kukasa ngikazhi wa mu Loma ajinga mambo akatampe bingi; kupuma muntu ajinga a bulala; kwipaya muntu kwajingatu pamo na muntu waipaya bansemi banji nangwa mulongo wanji.”
