If you're struggling with various Zulu terms that occur in histories of the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, such as iBandhla imhlope (a married regiment) or isiJula (a short-bladed, throwing spear), want to know how many warriors there were in, for instance, an iViyo (usually between 50 and 200 men), or what an iWisa was used for (it's a club used to bash out the brains of a foe), you'll find explanations in this
list of Zulu War terminology.
