How is it possible that a word that was not originally in Kuria language is adopted and used like other Kuria words? When two languages come into contact, one can borrow words from another and the loan words are nativised through such processes as insertion, deletion and breaking of consonant clusters, to become part of the borrowing language and be used as if they were originally in its lexicon. 'English loan words in Kuria Language' tells of the reconstruction processes that words from the English language go through to fit in Kuria.
