Isi-

isi- and izi- are lower-case prefixes used in Nguni languages (e.g. isiXhosa, isiNdebele, isiNguni, isiZulu, izibongi, izimbongi, etc.). For the purposes of this website we shall employ the traditionally used European spelling for most such nouns, which does away with the prefix, simply because it makes it easier to alphebeticise.
