Only the last four bars have survived of a song about ‘bonyukunyana’, which is a pet name for a little girl. One word is repeated: ‘ntoi’, a playful word used in Lesotho culture to encourage a child to eat her porridge. Moerane attributes the text to ‘Setsoto’, a word he often used to describe lyrics that he drew from a traditional source. The featured image on the right shows the whole fragment, and there is no audio file.
