Quthing
Current oral-history correction says Quthing is linked to Quu. We keep this marked as oral-history evidence while audio publication and further source checks are pending.
Section Deep Dive
Etymology: Quthing, Qwabi/Qwas, and Qithi
The etymology layer combines stronger and weaker certainties. We separate what is relatively stable from what remains unresolved.
Qwabi and Qwas
Family etymology holds Qwabi and Qwas as son/daughter markers in !Ui-Taa framing. This survives as lineage memory and is used here as an internal heritage explanation.
Qithi
Qithi is recognized as click-linked and San-associated in sound layer, but exact lexical meaning in San, Sesotho, and Sephuthi remains unresolved. We preserve that uncertainty explicitly.
