[edit] Ju/wasi
If this is the name that the people refer to themselves as, this page should be moved to Ju/wasi people I believe. I would do this myself except the contributor of this information was anonymous and provided no reference to support it ... as I don't know the veracity of this, I leave it to another to second this information or provide some backup support for it's truth before making the move.

- It looks to me as part of the complications of Khoisan languages. I think Ju/wasi people are supposed to speak the Ju/’hoan language rather than the !Kung language. But [1] suggests that some writers think they are the same and others different. I will take it out. --81.131.164.155 22:38, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Mythology
Prishiboro does not sound like a real Khoisan word. Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 23:22, 26 April 2006 (UTC) Thanks, Ezeu! The original was bloody tedious, and either OR or a copyvio. Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen) 11:38, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, I cannot find any information about Prishiboro in !Kung religion. My sources call the god of the !Kung either jjnwa-se or maybe Huwe although it's not very clear to me. I'd love to know the source of the Prishiboro mythology.--Nathan Holland 22:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
The myths themselves should be in past tense, but if this is a living group of people, shouldn't it be e.g. "believe" and "practice" instead of "believed" and "practiced"? Crater Creator 05:57, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation
I'm sure many people, myself included, would be curious as to how the name of the tribe is pronounced. Perhaps a pronunciation key or something alike would be useful. Also, I believe that their native name isn't "!Kung" isn't it? Please include information about their original name and the origin of the 'curious' exclamation mark.
