Etymology[edit]

Pursuant to recent changes, in which a Chewa/Nyanja origin of the word was listed as etymology, and then reverted with the suggestion that it is probably Bemba, I've added an {{rfe}} under the subsection for etymology indicating the latter. IMO it is helpful for users to have an idea of origin of obviously borrowed terms, including as in this case a degree of uncertainty. In the case that the origin of nshima / nsima / sima is hard to pin down, then relevant information to that effect and the region/languages of use from which the English borrowing came, would be good.
