Notes on class of noun

The Oxford Chichewa Dictionary does not indicate which class the noun belongs to, whilst the noun does not appear in the Mtanthauziramawu wa Chinyanja. However, many nouns, including numerous animals, beginning with "na-" belong to class 1a/2, and so it is likely that this noun belongs to that class, or if not, class 9/10
