Kusowanka

After poking around Kusowanka for a while, I ran the title through Google Translate just to see what it literally meant. Given the subject matter of the site, I really expected it to be something in Japanese. If it is a Japanese word, Google doesn’t know it yet, because the translation I got back comes from the Nyanja language, spoken in a few African countries. In Malawi, Zambia and Mozambique, Kusowanka is another word for Absence.
