English Translation
Nhodo is a children's game where you throw a small stone in the air and take out or put back some others that are in a hole before catching the one you threw in the air. We are playing proper nhodo today. Nhodo are the small stones or seeds used to play the children's game also called nhodo. When playing nhodo, the stone you throw in the air is called 'mudodo', but the stones that are in the hole are called 'nhodo'.
