crab in kiswahili 1. ngadu[ŋgadu] 2. kaa[ka:]

actually, the word 'kaa' has another meaning; to live or to stay somewhere

*'swahili language' becomes 'kiswahili' in swahili.
In swahili, attaching 'ki-' in front of the nation makes 'the language of the nation', such as kiingereza(english), kifaransa(french) and kichina(chinese).

**kiswahili is spoken among east africa countries including tanzania and kenya.

***most of the swahili words are stressed penultimate vowel.
