Obligatory Fandom Side-Blog

Hi dear! :) I'm having a rather sleepless but quiet middle of the night. I hope you're well too!

Short answer:

So the words the kids say are: "Ingcuka emhlophe". Their pronunciation is trash but thems the words, "incuka" meaning 'the wolf' and "emhlophe" meaning "that is white [in colour]".

Longish answer:

Personally, "Incuka Emhlophe" sounds more like a title other people would use when referring to him rather than it does an address to Bucky himself. If they were to personally address him, it would mostly likely be "Ncuk'emhlophe!" like someone is praise-singing another person's clan names (tbh it kinda does sound like a clan name...). Could also be "Ncuk' Emhlophe!" as a slightly more formal way to write it but these two are basically the same thing.

I guess you could use "Ncuka Emhlophe" when addressing Bucky but to me that sounds awkward, or meant to be for teasing/comedic effect (by pronouncing all the syllables instead of speaking comfortably/colloquially). Still valid though.

(The 'a' is cut because as far as I know, most Nguni languages don't have diphthongs. So if you have two consecutive words, with the first word ending in a vowel (especially if it's an open or 'ah' vowel) and the second beginning in one (especially it's a more closed vowel than the first), in most cases and if you're speaking colloquially, you drop the first word's ending vowel. Having two vowels together like that might sounds like diphthong and sounds unnatural when speaking normally and quickly)

(For interest's sake, the "i" is cut as it is basically the equivalent of an article (a/the) in English. In both isiZulu and isiXhosa, the correct term would be noun classes, or "izigaba zamabizo". So you only had the noun class "i" when referring to Bucky, The White Wolf)

I hope this long-winded explanation helps! 😊 Let me know if you'd like me to explain anything further. All the best!
