Olof Njie neh xaliss Sosseh la. Borr Serer la. Alleli jambour Peul la. Ndik xaliss Conteh la sant. Borr sant Feye/Faye, Alleli jambour, Bah.
According to Olof Njie, money is Mandinka, a debt is Serer and someone else's property is Peul or Fula, because money is to be counted and count meaning "Conteh" in Wolof is a Mandinka surname. Debts must be repaid and to repay in Wolof is "feye/Faye," a Serer surname. That which belongs to someone else is to be left off, and "Bah" meaning to leave off in Wolof is a Peul/Fula surename.
