I think Arumbaya name in the Broken Ear is possibly derived from the Mbaya people

That's interesting, thanks. I look forward to reading (and commenting on) your study of historical references from The Broken Ear.

Very interesting - thanks for sharing. I assumed that Arumbaya was from "a rum buyer". I have also tried hard to come up with a similar explanation for the Rumbabas :)
