‘There is no way of verifying Mr Dhaqabo's age, but Mohammed Ademo notes that in an oral society like the Oromo, "every time an elder dies, a library is lost. Ebba is one such library from whom so much can still be preserved".’
Sounds more like Ebba had a keen ear and memory and regurgitated tales from those before him. Perhaps senility's mixed up his ability to divorce story from self?
