Meaning & history
Praises of the Dlamini, the Swazi royal house, hailing them as Nkosi (king/lord), people of eMbo (the northern Nguni origin region from which the Dlamini migrated), and 'wekunene' (those of the right/honour). The references invoke the royal ancestral line. Because several of the supplied lines could not be authoritatively confirmed, only the well-attested core is offered, and even this should be treated cautiously.
