单词 chagga
释义

Chaggan.adj.

Brit. /ˈtʃaɡə/, U.S. /ˈtʃæɡə/, East African English /ˈtʃaɡa/
Inflections: Plural unchanged, Chaggas.
Forms: 1800s Čaga, 1800s– Chaga, 1800s– Chagga, 1800s– Jagga.
Origin: A borrowing from Swahili. Etymon: Swahili -chaga.
Etymology: < Swahili -chaga (in e.g. Wachaga , denoting the people (see Wachagga n. and adj.; singular Mchaga) and Kichaga, denoting the language).The Chagga people did not originally have one single self-designation; Chaga βatʃaka (singular mtʃaka ) is < Swahili. The plural form Chaggas is an English development. The origin of the form Jagga (apparently with voiced initial) is unclear, but compare German Dschagga (1817 or earlier; now rare in this form and usually written Chagga ). In linguistic contexts, the form Chaga is now preferred.
A. n.
1. A member of a people of eastern Africa living on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro and forming one of the largest ethnic groups of Tanzania.
