They attacked on the east coast of Africa,
then all would be clear: for it must be noticed the Wakama, or
kings, when asked to what race they owe their origin, invariably
reply, in the first place, from princes - giving, for instance,
the titles Wawitu in Unyoro, and Wahinda in Karague - which is
most likely caused by their never having been asked such a close
question before, whilst the idiom of the language generally
induces them to call themselves after the name applied to their
country.
So much for ethnological conjecture. Let us now deal with the
Wahuma since they crossed the Nile and founded the kingdom of
Kittara, a large tract of land bounded by the Victoria N'yanza
and Kitangule Kagera or River on the south, the Nile on the east,
the Little Luta-Nzige Lake[FN#15] on the north, and the kingdoms
of Utubi and Nkole on the west.
The general name Kittara is gradually becoming extinct, and is
seldom applied to any but the western portions; whilst the north-
eastern, in which the capital is situated, is called Unyoro, and
the other, Uddu apart from Uganda, as we shall presently see.
Nobody has been able to inform us how many generations old the
Wahuma government of Unyoro is.
