The Strange Adventures of Andrew Battell, of Leigh, in Angola and the Adjoining Regions
Battell, Andrew
Angola -- Discovery and exploration; Congo (Democratic Republic) -- Discovery and exploration
+Holy Ghost+, a village, on Luandu Island, 94 (called Espiritu Santo
by D. Lopez), 8.8 S., 13.2 E.
+Hombia ngymbe+ (Hombia ngombe, equivalent to Wembo a ngombe in the
S. Salvador dialect), a “prince” in Benguella, on the river Kuvu,
21
+Horse Island+ (D. Lopez). _See_ Hippopotamus Island.
+Horses’+ (zebras’) tails, 75
+Huambo+ (Hambo, Hiambo), district or soba in Benguella, 13.1 S.,
15.6 E.; gold found there, 29
+Huembo+, a province of Kongo (Paiva Manso, 50), perhaps Wembo.
+Human+ sacrifices, 28, 33, 85, 86, 105
+Iakonda+, a tributary of the Kwanza (Cavazzi), probably to be looked
for in the Kondo cataract, 9.9 S., 16.1 E.
+Ibari+ (Ybari), a kingdom whither the Portuguese traded (Garcia
Mendes, 8). Rev. Tho. Lewis suggests that it refers to a place
where _mbadi_ cloth is made (the letters _r_ and _d_ being
interchangeable, and _m_ coming naturally before _b_). Sir H.
Stanley (_Through the Dark Continent_, ii, 283, 320, 323) heard
Kongo called _Ibari_, and subsequently was told of an Ibari Nkubu,
or river of Nkutu. A. Sims (_Kiteke Vocabulary_) knows of a tribe
Bakutu towards the Kasai. We believe the Ybari of G. Mendes to
refer to the country about the Kwangu, whither Portuguese traders
actually did go for cloth.
