K'upange ulo wocisosomwilõ-melã, tukakulihisã  ovikeya ndevi: (i) okukulihisa usalo w'ovimatama v'unukulandaka vy'Umbundu, (ii) okukwatisako ukulihiso kwenda undomboloke  w'ovikeya vy'unukulandaka vilikweteleko l'usalo w'unukulandaka k'Umbundu, (iii) okutondongola otwatime twelitepo tusovoli  w'unukulandaka k'Umbundu capyãla kasukokisalomopelwa lw'elakanyulû.Omolyaco, twanolãpo ocilipokwisilo w'ocisosomwilõ-melã ulikweteleko l'Unukulandaka w'Emyuhõ kwenda W'ukulisovindekase vyutyayo wasonehi ndeci Jakobson (1939); Trubetzkoy (1939),  Jacobson kwenda Halle (1956), Chomsky la Clements (1985). Ulandu w'esinumwilõ ulekisa okuti Umbundu wasoleka ulisokisolwali w'ekalo  l'utatiwo wavindi wasusülulandaka w'etendelo lya tãlo (5), eli /a/ likwete utyayo w'elyanjo twalikuminya ndutyayo wanoliwilã ulandu w'etu ndeci konyima cakulihisiwiwa v'elimi lyo k'Imbundu (cf.
