|a This poem is a religious admonition and prayer composed in an acrostic style. Its title is a Swahili form of the Arabic words ‘ad-duraru al-mandhum,’ meaning ‘strung pearls.’ This manuscript, scribed by Muhammad Kijumwa, appears to be the one used by Harries for his publication (1962) of the poem. The verses for ‘twei’ and ‘thwei’ were evidently forgotten in the first instance, and then inserted in much smaller writing. As with most material in Arabic script, the reader must be prepared to adjust a direct transliteration to correspond to the Swahili context. Thus, for example, the word in the second kipande of verse 12 that would be directly transliterated as ‘kira’ should be rendered as ‘kenda’ or ‘kwenda.’ With this in mind, the cataloguers would suggest a transliteration that differs on some lexical points from that of Harries (1962). In their reading, ‘kutufata’ in the first kipande of verse 11 becomes ‘kutungata’; ‘yatamshibu’ in the second kipande of verse 13 becomes ‘yatamsibu’; ‘hari mteu’ in the last vipande of verse 14 becomes ‘huenda mteu’; ‘udharawu’ in the second kipande of verse 15 becomes ‘ukasahau’; and ‘wa hapa’ in the first kipande of verse 17 becomes ‘huwamba.’ In verse 26, the third vipande becomes ‘wulati amri yake’ -- instead of ‘wake,’ which would seem to replicate an error made by Kijumwa in scribing. |
