Other Information:
It seems as though Zambaliru or Zambaliro is an alternative name for Ngbitimo.
However, I have followed E-P's published name for this man as Ngbitimo, who he refers to in at least two places in Witchcraft, Oracles and Magic Among the Azande.
For instance on page 343 he states 'When my friend Ngbitimo (see Plate IV), in Rikita's province, incurred the displeasure of his prince...' another image of him is reproduced as Plate IV (facing page 46) in E.

Evans-Pritchard's Witchcraft, Oracles and Magic Among the Azande (OUP 1937), with the caption "Ngbitimo and two of his wives.
Medicines can be seen growing in the homestead behind him"
