According to this English-Shona dictionary, this word’s semantics is «To hang loose without stiffness; to bend down, as flexible bodies; to be loose, yielding, limp.» According to the Google Translate online dictionary, this word, when capitalized means "Calendar", but in lower case, it is translated as "flag", though.
