The Anunnaki word stem "bel-" means "To dig". I don't know if this has anything to do with the English "bell". However, a few Kalanga words developed from said stem.
The diggers at Mapungubwe were called BaHUMBE. By the way, these are the people called "Dibetsa" by the Batugwa/Batlokwa. I believe that the final "BE" in BaHUMBE is part of "BEL-". My belief is borne out of the realisation that BaHUMBE are also referred to as "humbela", meaning "ant-eater". Indeed the totem of their nemesis, the Batugwa, is the ant-eater. This suggests that the full name of BaHUMBE is BaHUMBELA, meaning "those who dig".
The totem of BaHUMBE is ChiBELU, a pretty little bird called "Hoopoe" in English. I believe this is a misnomer. I think ChiBELU was originally a "khoodza-ntanda", which is a little grey bird which nests by DIGGING a hole in dried-up tree branches. Be that as it may, the bird's name again carries that word stem "bel-".
The BaHUMBE are also referred to as the Ndi-MBELE, meaning I'm a digger. Ndi-MBELE has now metamorphosed into NDEBELE in both South Africa and Zimbabwe. The "bel-" word stem is again the core of "Ndebele".
It is in the context of this "bel-" word stem that the construction of the Ethiopian rock-hewn churches at Lalibela can best be understood. As already indicated, "la" means "water/liquid/chemical". The word "li-" is a verb prefix. "Bela" is the verb, meaning "to dig". The word "Lalibela" therefore simply means "water (or liquid or chemical) digging". Thus the rock-hewn churches were hewn by the Anunnaki, using water. Hopefully science will explain exactly how it was done some day!

Ancient gods' names
The names of not only the gods, but other 'biblical' entities are easily understood in Kalanga. It must be admitted here straight away that the Anunnaki language differed in some respects from orthodox Kalanga.
But first the similarities:
The letter "E" at the beginning of a noun should be pronounced as the first "E" in the word "lever", and NOT as the first "E" inn the word "Enter". The corresponding sound in Kalanga/Nguni is written "i-". In Kalanga it means "it is-",while in Nguni it is fused together with the text following it to form a composite noun - e.g. i-mota, meaning a motor car.
Enlil: [I-nlili] - The crying one. Derived from the verb "Ku lila", meaning "To cry". The first impression one got from seeing the small eyes on the Anunnaki face (see the rock face at Khami) was that tears were streaming down their faces. We might have been monkeys at the time, but we knew what "crying" looked like.
Enki: [I-nki] - The living one. This name is derived from the word "Ka", meaning "spirit". Ka is not a Kalanga word, but a component of many Kalanga words, e.g. nkaka, meaning milk. The Kalanga equivalent of "Ka" is "ku chila/tjila" meaning "to be alive". Thus Enki's Kalanga name was "Nchili". Today "Nchili" also means a leather rope BECAUSE ENKI RESEMBLED A SNAKE. The resemblance of Enki to a snake was purely a result of his prolonged stay under zero gravity conditions, resulting in a severely elongated body.
Egypt: [I-giputa] - The sipping/kissing one. Derived from "Ku puta", meaning to sip (& also to kiss).
In conclusion, it is important to bear in mind that the Anunnaki did not have teeth, but they mated with the humans that they had engineered. It was a big celebration when what was expected to be an Anunnaki baby (Men/Mn/) was born with teeth (meno, in Kalanga). The god Anubis, however seems to have had teeth, because sugar cane (I-kpe, in Kalanga) carries his name. That may explain why it was he who was assigned to collect human stomach contents for the rest of the toothless gods.
