I have posited before that what differentiates Bahurutshe from Bakhurutshe is that the former remained in Southern Africa, when the latter accompanied their Queen to Ethiopia or Egypt. Subsequently those who remained in Southern Africa morphed from "gatherers of lutshi" to "supervisors" in the digging/mining process.
The correctness of my thinking is reinforced by the Russian King's name - Czar. The name Czar is a corruption of the Kalanga word "tsha", meaning "dig". Thus the Russian King was the head digging Supervisor and was accordingly named according to the commands he shouted - "Dig!".
So Russians stayed in Southern Africa and are thus more appropriately referred to as Bahurutshe, rather than Bakhurutshe.
