If you are weaving wicker into a shelter, you can't use hand gestures to communicate, but you can vocalize freely, and vice versa. The word Unda came not from the sea but from the over-under handweaving of twigs to make a durable family home with a roomy interior, ndula, imo.

Mongolu may have replaced (ua)ngolu when doorway & hearth were added, changing the transportable domeshield-coracle to the sedentary dome hut. This would explain why a coracle in India is called harigolu, not harimongolu, people had moved from Africa to India *before* inventing dome huts with internal hearths cf Mount Toba.

According to OED perhaps from a Scandinavian or Low German source (compare dialectal Swedish loma, East Frisian lomen "move slowly"), which is perhaps from the root of lame (adj.).

I didn't see the Chris Knight zoomcast, but watched his older videos, my response to his contention that apes do not speak because they live in a brute environment, while humans speak because we live in a virtual environment:

Language is a tool used in a "virtual environment", yes. Among great apes, there are two home environments: a handwoven arboreal bowl nest to sit on, used by furry gorillas, chimps & orangs; and a handwoven terrestrial domed roof (domeshield, predecessor of the dome hut) to sit under, used by archaic humans, which is the virtual environment where language originated. This inverted bowl domeshield (sunshade rainshed bug resistant predator resistant cold resistant) resulted from the chromosome inversion separating humans from arboreal apes 5ma. DDeden
