"Manyara Park has many elephants"

Translation: Mbuga ya Manyara ina tembo wengi

[XanderVert]

Why 'wengi' with 'w-' here (as if from Class 2)? My dictionary says that 'tembo' is a class 9/10 noun, so I would expect 'tembo nyingi' here.

[Ernst557459]

Animate objects in the N/N class get M/Wa concords, with the exception of the possesive pronouns, e.g. dada zangu: my sisters, but nina dada wengi: I have many sisters.

[whsndstalb]

why ina and not kuna?

[Ernst557459]

That would mean 'There are many elephants in Manyara park'.
