    • Although classified as Dogon by the early French ethnographic expeditions into the area, the Humbebe distinguish themselves from the Dogon of the Bandiagara plateau [18, 19]. The Humbebe are united by a common ancestral lineage with the clan name Ongoiba, and by their separate language known as Djamsai. The Dogon of the southern areas of the plateau are less Islamicized, and those that do practice Islam are allied to the Tijaniyya brotherhoods. By contrast, the Humbebe, like the majority of the Fulani of the Mopti region, adhere to the Quadiriyya and tend to have daily contact with the Fulani whose language they speak fluently. Dogon of the Bandiagara escarpment have less contact with the Fulani than the Humbebe.

    • The wealth ranking was only carried out in the Fulani village as closer rapports had been established with its inhabitants than with the Humbebe, due to daily participation in their village life. As the technique requires sensitive questioning of private financial issues, it was felt that it would not have been successful in the Humbebe village where such close relationships had not been established.

    • In Fulfulde sukaab̄e means children (sing. souka) while bambaab̄e (sing. bambaado) is from the verb bambaade which refers to the act of carrying a child on one's back. Used in this sense it has connotations of providing a child with social support and being his or her mainstay in life.

    • Among these communities fostering is often inextricably linked to weaning which is said to take place at around 24 months of age. However foster mothers may require that children are weaned earlier so that they can begin to care for them, or events such as a subsequent maternal pregnancy may lead to weaning occurring before the prescribed age. Under such circumstances a child may be fostered out either temporarily or permanently as part of the weaning process.

    • Fulani mothers are accustomed to giving their children preventive medicines (lekki). these are usually prepared with the leaves of a plant known as ngouhoumi (combretum micanthum) and are force fed to the child usually daily, to clean out the child's stomach and to make him grow.
