Kunezinhlobo okungenani ezinhlanu ezihlukene zama-meow. Iphimbo nephimbo lazo zonke zikhombisa imizwa ehlukene, izidingo noma izifiso zesilwane. Ikati lazi kahle ukuthi i-meow noma i-purr kufanele ifake ini ukuze litotozwe noma linikezwe ukudla okulula kwaphakathi kwamabili. 

Ngokuka-Nicholas Nicastro, owenza ucwaningo ngokuphimisela kwekati e-Cornell University, amakati awalusebenzisi ngempela “ulimi olunjalo” futhi awaqondi ukuthi asho ukuthini amagama awo. Kodwa, uthi, “Abantu bafunda ukuhlobanisa incazelo nemisindo yezimfanelo ezihlukahlukene ze-acoustic njengoba befunda ukuzwa imisindo ezimweni ezihlukene zokuziphatha phakathi neminyaka eminingi yokusebenzelana namakati.” 

Ukusebenzisa ikati ngokungaguquki izinhlobo ezithile zokuphimisa ukuze lixhumane nabanikazi balo kubonisa indlela izilwane ezifuywayo ezizijwayeze ngayo ukuphila kwasekhaya nokuthi kungakanani abantu abakufunde kubangane babo abanoboya.

Kungani amakati ekhala ngaphandle komsindo?

Nakuba abacwaningi sebeyazi okuningi ngemisindo ehlukahlukene eyenziwa amakati, isimo lapho isilwane esifuywayo sivula umlomo waso futhi singawukhiphi umsindo sihlukile ngandlela-thile. Kwenzekani phakathi nalokhu “okungeyona i-meow”?

I-meow ethule ngezikhathi ezithile iyinto evamile phakathi kwamakati okungeyona into yokukhathazeka ngayo. Amanye amakati ayisebenzisa kakhulu kunamanye. Ezilwaneni eziningi, i-meow ethule ivele ithathe indawo yeyakudala.

Kodwa ingabe ikati liyakhala lithule ngempela?

Njengoba kuvela, i-meow yekati empeleni ayithuli. Ngokunokwenzeka, lo msindo uthule kakhulu ukuthi ungawuzwa. “Njengoba liqhele ngamamitha ambalwa ukusuka emthonjeni womsindo, leli kati liyakwazi ukuthola indawo elikuyo ngokunemba okungamasentimitha ambalwa ngezingxenye ezingamakhulu ayisithupha nje zomzuzwana,” kuchaza i-Animal Planet. Amakati angakwazi nokuzwa imisindo kude—ubude obuphindwe kane noma kahlanu kunabantu.” Ngokuzwa okumangalisayo okunjalo, ikati lizofaka imisindo eyengeziwe kumasignali alo okuxhumana.

Uma ikati likwazi ukuzwa i-meow ngephimbo eliphakeme kakhulu kunalokho umuntu angakuzwa, ngokuqinisekile lizozama ukukhiqiza lowo msindo. Mhlawumbe isilwane sikhuluma “ngokuzwakalayo”, umnikazi nje akezwa.

Nakuba i-meowing ethule ngokuvamile ingeyona imbangela yokukhathazeka, kwezinye izimo, kufanele kuthathwe isinyathelo uma izinguquko ezingajwayelekile ekuphimiseni zibonwa. Uma ikati, elivame ukukhala kakhulu, livele lithule, noma izwi lakhe liba nomsindo, kuyadingeka ukuthintana nodokotela wezilwane ukuze uthole izizathu zezinguquko ezinjalo.
