    Abstract from http://www.unescocat.org/cultmon/en/dossiers/bantu s3_1.html
    "In drum language, the sender identifies himself at the start of the message with the notes of his personal motto and those of his listener's, so as to draw his attention. This technique is also
                        used in another variety of language without drums, called ekiga, which
                        consists in reproducing the notes without the words, emitting the syllable
                        ke in a falsetto voice and repeating it with the corresponding tone.
                        This other type of language is used mainly for calling someone by their
                        motto from one field to another or from a clearing to a field, when
                        the sender and the receiver are not too far apart and when there is
                        no wooden drum available or no-one who can use it."
