The ||kerri: a bird which eats locusts; and locust-hunting

Lucy Lloyd |xam notebooks

|han≠kass'o (Klein Jantje) (VIII)

The ||<i>kerri</i> bird eats locusts and is thus called the locust-bird. They drive the locusts into the bushes, where the people collect them and roast them in a fire. The people thirst after collecting locusts and need water. The rain then breaks and the people go and hunt for springbok.
