Amagwababa afile angasebenzisa ikhono lawo lokufunda nokulawula izwi ngokuhlangene ukuze akhe umqondo wezinombolo ongacacile futhi awusebenzisele ukuphimisela.
Ikhono lezinombolo eliyisisekelo (okungukuthi. Ikhono lokuqonda nokusebenzisa imibono yezinombolo eyisisekelo njengokubala, ukwengeza njll) liye labonwa ezilwaneni. Ngokwesibonelo, abanye izinyoni futhi izinyosi zikhombisa ikhono eliyisisekelo lokubala nokubandlulula phakathi kwenani elikhulu noma elincane lezinto.
Kodwa-ke, ikhono lokusebenzisa amaphimbo ukuze ubale uphimisele ngokuveza ngenhloso inombolo ethile yamagama kuyikhono eliphezulu elihlanganisa inhlanganisela eyinkimbinkimbi yamakhono ezinombolo nokulawula izwi. Asikho isilwane okwaziwayo ukuthi sikhombise leli khono. Abantu kuphela abanaleli khono. Ocwaningweni olushicilelwe muva nje, ososayensi bokuziphatha bahlole ukuthi amagwababa analo yini leli khono. Kutholakale ukuthi amagwababa echobana angahlela ngamabomu ukuthi zingaki izingcingo ezizoshaya.
Amagwababa enyama ayaziwa ngokuba nekhono elihle lokufunda. Bayaqonda ukubala. Futhi banokulawula okuhle kwezwi futhi bangakwazi ukulawula ngokunembile ukuthi bafuna ukukhipha ucingo noma cha. Ithimba locwaningo liklame ukuhlola ngamagwababa amathathu enyama efile ukuze kufundwe ukuthi angakwazi yini ukusebenzisa ikhono lawo lokufunda nokulawula izwi ngokuhlangene.
Lezi zinyoni ezintathu zanikezwa umsebenzi wokukhiqiza ucingo olulodwa kuya kwezine ngokufanelekile lapho zibona izinombolo ezikhethiwe zesi-Arabhu noma lapho zizwa imisindo ethile bese ziphetha ukulandelana kwazo ngokucofa ukhiye wokungena. Izinyoni ezifundiswayo zazikwazi ukubala izingcingo zazo ngokulandelana kwazo. Isikhathi sokuphendula (noma ukugoba phakathi kokwethulwa kwesivuseleli nokukhipha ucingo lokuqala empendulweni saside kakhulu) sasiside uma kuqhathaniswa futhi saba side izingcingo eziningi ezazidingeka kodwa azizange zithintwe uhlobo lwesisusa. I-C iphakamisa ukuthi amagwababa angakha umqondo wezinombolo ongacacile eziwusebenzisela ukuhlela ukuphimisela kwazo ngaphambi kokukhipha izingcingo. Leli khono libonakala kubantu kuphela okwenza amagwababa abe yizilwane zokuqala ngaphandle kwabantu ukukhiqiza izingcingo eziningi ngamabomu ngokufundiswa.
