Why not Enda? I would understand naenda nyumbano as "I'm going home" but am confused why the n is here in the command

Enda is one of the words that is special when using it as a command and turns to Nenda when commanding someone to 'Go'. Other words like Kuja turn to Njoo, Kuleta turns to lete when used as a command. There is all the information in the notes for this lesson, please refer to that as I am still learning aswell.
