Githunguri ni kuri kia wairera na Githunguri kia mucere. Ona matura mangi metaguo kamucege. Gatî iguru, Komothai.

Tetu wa mburi, Mathira ma Githomo, Karatina = Qurantine?

Tigoni = teazone

Many places are named after actual people or clans that occupied the areas.

Githunguri ni taa Karima kee iguru na geikaritie
Gwitu kuri
Witima=> Nyeki yakuraga gikuyu-ini
Kagumo=>Mugumo kanini?
Tetu wa mburi/waru ritwa=> tetu ni kuuga atia?
Mathira ma Githomo=>githomo gioka thutha mathira riumite ha?
Maritwa maya taura-ni!

Tetu ni pasture hence tetu wa Mburi. Tetu= a fertile plateau with natural pastures and scant tree cover.

Mathira = I am not sure, but one indication is that the area is named after the people. Andu nio mathira ti itura hence you have names of specific places within Mathira eg Karogoto, magutu, kirimara etc

Karogoto, magutu, kirimara,Metumi Ndigi Maguru,Murang'a,Uthaya,Kabuta,Kiandu,Gura,Thuti
