+Mpanzu-alumbu+ (Panzu or Pazoalumbu) a village or district on
the lower Kongo, either in Mpangu-lungu or that district itself.
King Affonso (Paiva Manso, 50) calls himself “Lord of the Conquest
of Pazoallumbo,” and does not mention Pangalungu, which certainly
was a district incorporated with Kongo in his day. Bastian
(_Exped. an der Loangoküste_, i, 289), mentions a village Mpanzo,
and another Mpanzo mfinda (“Mpanzo in the Wood”) as being near
Sonyo. Mpangu and Mpanzu may possibly be interchangeable, just as
Lopez gives the name of Mpango to the fourth king of Kongo, whom
others call Mpanzu, 112, 113
