BANA means children

BANA is the plural of MWANA (A child)

In KILUBA or TSHILUBA language & LINGALA language (Democratic republic of Congo & central Africa)

One would say BANMA betu (our children; children of the community; children of the nation; communal children as a symbol of future; hope; connection with ancestors and living souls) Children define our being spiritually, holistically, metaphysically, earthly, socially, culturally, in relation with the triad: ENERGY_FORCE_ESSENCE

It takes a whole village to raise a MWANA or BABA, hence QBBE represents a village!
