so, in Baganda and in Hausa it has the same meaning. you can pronounce "Mun-Da" or "Mu-Na-Da"; I assure you that the 2nd alternative is the best because "Na" equals the preposition "of":
we of the past=Mu Na Da.
Another nigerien researcher , Dr Mahamadou Koraou, went further, saying that these Dravidians were the "Dawrawa" I mentioned above . Indians use "V" in place of"W"
Dravidians said they came from West which is " YAMA" in hausa.
But in their history Yama is taken as their ancestor; his name might be "Na Yama"= The Westerner.
India, according to him derived from " Ein-DA"= " SONS of the past" which is the same as "Mun-DA"
Maitre Souley in his part shares the same comprehension and said that Dravidians left a place designed in hieroglyphs as" Koren Ein-Da-Hausa" Koré meaning valley, thus we have "Ein-Da Hausa" = " Ein-Da-hus"= INDUS.
Koren Ein-Da Hausa is thus, The Valley of Indus
Many identical words and meanings are found between Hausa and related sanskrit languages. - muwanga says

Yes Yahaya
Na means of in Ganda e.g a Kenyan is Mu na kenya in Ganda i.e. of Kenya.
When refering to a human in Ganda and Bantu Lingua one normally starts with MU e.g. Mu-indi (indian) . Mu Hausa ( Hausa person) MU Yoruba etc.
I forgot to mention another important town in Salomon Island " MUNDA". My grand father's name is Munda.
I don't know exactly the meaning. But when deceaphering in hausa we have "MU"=WE, and "DA"= "ANCIENT TIME" which gives litterally "We of ancient time" or "People of the past"=Mun-Da.
Note that "DA" means "ancient epoch" in Sumerian , thus, same meaning in hausa.
Please, a Polynesian to define us the term "Munda" in their part!
thanks!
