Comment:
Mfumte (nfu-nfu) = 6a (Vigorous).

The field trip of Roger Blench 1999 attempted to reach Antere near the Nigeria-Cameroon border but only succeeded in interviewing people from Antere in Yerimaru. They were told of an Fum language which they interpret as a name for Mfumte spoken on the Cameroonian side and covered in the Mfumte [nfu] and related entries. Despite this identification, a separate entry Fum [fum] emerged. Furthermore, newer survey consistently count the Mfumte variety of Antere as Eastern Mfumte ( Greg L. McLean 2014 , Grant, Caroline A. and Margaret Griffin and Joseph Mbongué and Lawrence Seguin 1994 , Greg L. McLean 2015 ), i.e., part of the Kwaja-Ndaktup [kdz] entry. See also: Fum [fum], Kwaja-Ndaktup [kdz].
