V316.38-317.4, P321.2532   They call themselves Otukungurua. Yes, old
Africa hands, it ought to be “Omakungurua,” but they are always
careful—perhaps it’s less healthy than care—to point out that oma-
applies only to the living and human. Otu- is for the inanimate and
the rising, and this is how they imagine themselves. Revolutionaries
of the Zero, they mean to carry on what began among the old Hereros
after the 1904 rebellion failed. They want a negative birth rate. The
program is racial suicide. They would finish the extermination the
Germans began in 1904.

What are "the rising" exactly?
