What's the word?

If 'mazingo' is the Swahili word for 'bends', what's the Makonde word for 'that which bends up'? (Makonde is the language of an ethnic African group)

what does chikungunya have to do with mazingo? I'm quite certain that's not a clue.

Actually, it has nothing to do with it. A confusing tactic, really! So, ppl could search for derivates of the word mazingo!!
