1859 Colenso First Steps Zulu-Kafir ii. 4 Every Zulu noun consists of two parts, the root and the inflex, the latter being a small particle, which is set before the root, forming with it the complete noun... We give the name of inflex to this initial particle, because, by changes of it, certain modifications of the noun are effected, as they are in Latin and Greek, by means of terminal particles..Thus..in the Zulu word umuntu, person, the root is ntu, and the inflex umu, which is changed to aba for the plural, and the whole word becomes abantu, people.
