Kinship and Clientship Based on Cattle Ownership

From the cow, you can get milk to make butter and cheese for example. There are societies which had so many cattle they donated some of their cattle, to make friends for example, in Burundi with the ubugabire. In the word ubugabire, there is the meaning of giving. Literary ubugabire means now I give. Ubu is now and gabire is I give in Kirundi.
