Sanusi,
     Fascinating, indeed. It looks like most surnames in Gambia have these
expressions. I think we need cultural and social anthropologists to study and
investigate the evolution of these cultural dynamics, and the positive impact
they bear in maintaining our socio-cultural standards as a people. I think this
is an area that Mr Hassum Ceesay may be knowledgable. And may be, there are a
lot more distinguished Gambians.
