1 German writers mostly adhere to this spelling, which suggests a doubt whether the initial consonant is voiced or not. Sir H. H. Johnston has adopted “Caga”. “Chaga” seems to be the most satisfactory form for general use. It is not clear why Mr. Dundas has retained the double g, while rejecting the dach: this would be an unprecedented phenomenon in Bantu.
