Animate nouns (principally those referring to people) take the concords of the M-wa class, even if they belong to another class.

M(w)-/wa- nouns are a different class than "fundi", which is a ji-/ma- word, so "ma" indicates the plural in this case, not the singular as "m" would in a pair like "mwalimu/walimu" (teacher/teachers).
