Nubwo inkubi z'umuyaga zafashije urubura n'ibigega by'amazi biri munsi y'ubutaka, ibibaya byo munsi y'ubutaka biratinda cyane kugaruka. Uduce twinshi tw'icyaro turacyahura n'ibibazo by'amazi, cyane cyane abaturage bishingikiriza ku mazi yo munsi y'ubutaka yagabanutse kubera amapfa amaze igihe kirekire.
