If the Gijimas won against the Nkhulu by chasing them from their territory then the Nkhulu must have lost.

Then, how is it different from what happened later? Nkhulu defended their territory from the Gijimas, they won, and if there's a winner, there must be a loser, Gijimas retreated, they lost the clash by the very definition of the word.

Difference is Nkhulus had consistently challenged both the Gijimas and Southern Avocas, it wasn’t just one separate occasion. I don’t think either Gijima male was serious about taking over new territory from a 6/7 male lion coalition and once they realised how outnumbered they were, they decided it wasn’t worth it. I also don’t think the Gijimas went all in to the point we can say they were defeated, especially when there was no actual physical contact. I would describe it more as the Nkhulus successfully defending their territory. Reply
