	The word ''izimu'', in the Zulu tales, is usually, as by Callaway and Theal, translated 'cannibal.' But this word, with us, is ordinarily applied to people who, for one reason or another, are accustomed to eat human flesh. As Callaway pointed out long ago, however, "it is perfectly clear that the cannibals of the Zulu legends are not common men; they are magnified into giants and magicians." Perhaps it might also be said that the attributes of the legendary ''amazimu'' were transferred to the abhorred beings, who, driven to cannibalism by famine, kept up the habit when it was no longer needed and, as Ulutuli Dhladhla told the bishop, ''"rebelled against men, forsook them, and liked to eat them, and men drove them away . . . so they were regarded as a distinct nation, for men were game (izinyamazane) to them."'' In fact, he distinctly says that ''"once they were men,"'' and implies that they were so no longer.

			'''Water:''' The life giving element of water works in reverse for the ''Amazimu'' Gallu, for any source of running water (river, lake or sea) that cannot be leapt over will weaken the ''dust-men''. The Gallu of the ''Amazimu'' must make a courage roll difficulty 6-8 depending on the size and depth of the body of water to simply cross the lake river or sea. Failure means the Gallu cannot cross while a successful roll allows for passage, but while crossing the ''Amazimu'' loses one die from all pools until the ''dust-man'' finishes crossing or all dice are stripped.
