Stumbling is a bad omen among the Maragoli but it is worse to stumble with one’s left foot than with the right. In the latter case on returns home only if it happens twice in succession. If one stumbles with both feet in quick succession it means two different troubles lie ahead.

Among the Wanga, however, it is considered lucky to stumble with the left foot when going out on a journey but unlucky to stumble with the right. But when returning home from a journey the opposite prevails i.e. lucky to stumble with the right foot and unlucky for the left foot.
