So is uti bone then?
Uti literally means trunk. Notice it has the same root as the word for tree. It basically refers to the central support structure of whatever it is referring to.
Other examples:
uti wa mkuki, spear shaft.
uti wa kitabu spine of a book.
So what's uti and what's mgongo? I'm guessing it's "bone of the back"

A few different things.
Yeah, mgongo is "back".
I am assuming this means "spine"?
yup
