Lawa kungaba ngamahlathi avikelayo noma ama-groves asemithambekeni yezintaba ngenhla kwamadolobhana noma amaqembu ezihlahla ezingomakadebona ezizungeze amasonto. Izisekelo zabo zokomoya kanye nokugcinwa kwabo kuhunyushwe njengendlela yokuphathwa kwezinsizakusebenza zendawo kanye nemvelo ngokusebenzisa imithetho yenkolo. Izihlahla ezingcwele kanye nezihlahla kuye kwahlotshaniswa nokungavunyelwe ukusika okuhlobene nezijeziso ezingaphezu kwemvelo.
Izindawo eziningi ezingcwele esifundeni zinakekelwa ngabantu bendawo. Esikhathini esedlule iZarori kwakuhlala amaZagori asungula amadolobhana kanye namaVlach ahlukene ngokwezilimi..
