True.
That surprised me at once, because I got used to think about words started with 'm' as 'm/wa' class.

ubavu / mbavu - rib(s) shows only google translator which is far a way from quality. What is the class of this strange combination of singular - plural ? In dictionaries about swahili don't exist these words. As the translation for " rib /s" is given - taruma / mataruma 5/6 JI - MA class.

The u-u class has some concrete nouns that form various plurals.
One of them is
u - mb.
