kokomba
ko-KO-mba
to sweep
French: balayer
Komba lopango.
Sweep the yard.
Balaye la cour.
To sweep — the morning broom against the dust. Kokomba is to sweep. Before the day begins the kokomba shapes the courtyard — the dust pushed out, the home set ready for what comes. (The headword "kombo" alone usually means "name"; the verb is kokomba.)
