"Bambati" is the poetic form of “Bamboe tí” meaning “crocodile is” (is crocodile)
“Bambati” is written; Bomboe tí (none poetic form)
Baa jikété bambati bari a kanda koleng leng ------is correctly written; Baa jikko mank ké bombo ti bari a kandaa kulengo lemu
“Bambati” in the context Santanfara put it is written "Bamba tío"
