E.
Evans-Pritchard notes that "the stool called kitipara, now very commonly constructed by Gbudwe's Azande, is obviously a copy of the Mangbetu bench...
[and is] a recent introduction." In their Zande and English Dictionary (London, The Sheldon Press 1952 [1931], page 67) Canon & Mrs E.C.
Gore note 'Kitikpara, n., bedstead, couch.'
