"Locust seeds"

What does the phrase "locust seeds" mean here? Couldn't say for sure, but I thought Soumbala was made from fermented néré seeds; I'm not sure what the English translation of néré would be, though. --Dvyost 8 July 2005 04:50 (UTC)

Parkia biglobosa has been given some English names, notably "African locust bean tree" (the term locust bean or seed would be derived from that), and also "African carob tree." Néré is a loan from Manding languages also used in English as well as some other European languages. --A12n (talk) 03:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name change to Sumbala?

Would it be more appropriate to use the spelling sumbala rather than soumbala for this article? The latter is simply the French spelling of a word in Manding languages. --A12n (talk) 03:46, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I requested a move per the above. --A12n (talk) 18:04, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
