Here's another daily expression I need help understanding,

Kala/ba n'kongo ye n'konguludi a kanda-be a Mukongo and judge of his community.
Woforo dua pa a, yɛpia wo.





If you climb a good tree, we push you.

1) Kala/ba kimpa mu bimpa-be a system within systems

2)Kala/ba diela mu bimpa muntu-be wise and sensible to human systems

Thanks
1) In page 42 it says that the Mûntu is "a system of systems, the pattern of patterns in being".

If I'm reading it right, expression 1 and 2 complimemt each other. To be a system within a system is another way of saying be wise and sensible to human beings.
