white (white man, not the color,
mpembe)
European-style person
person with light skin color
whale (allusion on the vessels of Diègo Cao and the
mindele who came from
the country under water mpoto)
zombie (in the context of voodoo and other rituals)
It seems that the origin of the word comes from the bobangi language
and that the radical "ndele" lets us believe that the african
perceived the european as someone who is insincere (="ndelengene")
rather than by his color.
