E.
Evans-Pritchard notes that "the old Mbomu walled dwelling hut, which is still the most usual habitation in Gbudwe's old kingdom, the gbuguru or gbasendeyo, is a hut with solid mud walls-the only wood used in them being the lintels-but lacking a clay foundation.
My informants added that, compared with today, there were very few of these well-made huts in past times."
