He encountered reports of the nearby "Okooafee" and their southern neighbors, the "Quapee". Krapf deduced within a year that the two groups were the same people, and he began referring to them as <i>Wakuafi</i> in his writings. In 1852, he learned that the Wakuafi referred to themselves as <i>Iloikop</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-auto_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At this time, The <a href="/wiki/Swahili_language" title="Swahili language">Swahili</a> name <i>Wakuafi</i> was used to describe all Iloikop peoples, although it was later narrowed to represent only the non-Maasai Iloikop.

In an early account, Thomas Wakefield described the "poor Wakwavi ... [who,] having long since been robbed of their cattle by the Maasai, were compelled to turn their attention to agricultural pursuits". Charles New concurred in 1873 with his predecessors' assertion that the Maasai and "Wakuavi" called themselves Orloikob, which he translated as "possessors of the soil"; both groups were pastoralists. James Last (who was stationed at Mamboia in central Tanzania during the 1880s) concluded – like Krapf – that "Humba" was an equivalent term for "Kwavi", and both peoples were pastoralists.<sup id="cite_ref-auto_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-auto-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By the early 20th century, Maasai identity was distinct from that of the Wakwavi.

In so doing, they impinged upon a territory then inhabited by two other peoples, subsequently to be known as the Cuka (or Chuka) and Tharaka. <br /> At that time both those societies were divided into two smaller sections. The early Cuka were then known as Chabugi and Irari; the Tharaka as Mbugi (or Diacho) and Chagala (or Murutu). The sharing of one name between the two societies suggests a long association between them, including frequent intermarriage.

He notes that an analysis of the traditions indicate that the incoming communities met non-Bantu cultures then resident at Mount Kenya. These included; </p> <ul><li>Small groups of Eastern Cushitic-speaking (Galla) peoples within the woodland zone, along the mountains arid base and into the Tigania plains.</li> <li class="mw-empty-elt"></li> <li>Somewhat larger communities of Maa-speaking (Maasai, Ogiek) peoples within the Tigania Plain and adjacent grasslands, north of the mountain itself<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul> <p>The dates and directions of expulsion vary slightly among Meru regions.

They note that sometime, "perhaps in the late 1730s" the original Ngaa nucleus separated into two segments, each of which took on an identity of its own. One was known as Mukunga (or Muku Ngaa: <a href="/wiki/Ngaa_people" title="Ngaa people">people of Ngaa</a>) and the other as <a href="/wiki/Murutu_people" title="Murutu people">Murutu</a>. Both these sections are said to have moved in their traditional direction of march. At a point that tradition places near today's Ntugi Hill, however, they fragmented once more. The Muku-Ngaa appear to have divided into four or perhaps five smaller sections. </p><p>Meru traditions states that one section of the Muku-Ngaa sections moved northward toward the heavily forested mountains of the Nyambeni range, which stretches northeast from the base of Mount Kenya. Three others are said to have moved west, into the foothills that make up the lowest portions of modern Igoji, Abogeta (South Imenti), and Abothoguchi (North Imenti). The final group drifted south sometime in the 1880s eventually entering that part of the Mwimbi region that lies adjacent to modern Muthambi, seizing this area from the early Cuka.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The directions of dispersal and order in which they are narrated bear similarity to the extent/grazing grounds of the 'Wakuafi' whom Krapf writes about in 1854, stating that; </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>...the main strength of the Wakuafi is concentrated around the Oldoinio eibor in a country called Kaputei, whence (they) proceed to the North, North-East, West and South... </p><div class="templatequotecite">— <cite>Ludwig Krapf, 1854<sup id="cite_ref-lkrapf_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-lkrapf-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></cite></div></blockquote> <p>Krapf states further on that "regarding Oldoinio eibor it is necessary to remark that by this term is meant the Kirénia or Endurkenia, or simply Kenia, as the Wakamba call it..."<sup id="cite_ref-lkrapf_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-lkrapf-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He does however specifically reference a community referred to as Lumbwa present in the general Laikipia region about the mid-19th century when he notes that: "To the North-East of the Neiwasha are the tribes Sukku, Sodeki, Walúmbua, Nganassa, Ndoizo, Lekipia, whence there is a journey of 24 days to Barawa on the Somali-coast...".<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Iloikop_wars:_c.1830">Iloikop wars: c.1830</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lumbwa_people&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Iloikop wars: c.1830"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Narratives recorded by MacDonald (1899) regarding the <a href="/wiki/Iloikop_wars" title="Iloikop wars">Iloikop wars</a> state that at the time of fragmentation of the Loikop peoples, there was a certain internal jealousy that gradually developed into open conflict.<sup id="cite_ref-McDonald_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-McDonald-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> MacDonald noted that; </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>Civil war broke out between the Masai and Guash Ngishu who were helped by their kinsmen of Lykipia.
