Both those females are fully independent and fully capable to feed for themselfs , there is no seniority in there, but partnership. Othawa female is not some sub adult trailing Ximunghwe lionesses in looking for protection and help. I do not see any reasoning behind claims that it is Othawa female who joins Ximunghwe lionesses and not the other way around.

It would be ditched only as a pride name as should be as this new unite would be half Ximunghwe, half Othawa pride. It wouldn't be ditched as name for indyvidual lionesses as this lionesses still would be refered to as Ximunghwe female. Also I do not see why ditching Ximunghwe pride is not ok while ditching orygins of Othawa breakaway female is full ok. 

It would be reasonable to keep naming it Ximunghwe if Ximunghwe pride would make most of this new unite (pride) while in this case it would be just much as Ximunghwe as Othawa breakaway. It is exatly the same as it works with male lions coalitions. If two unrelated males joins up to form a coalition we do not ditch origins of any of the two, we do not for example insteed of call Thanda Impi males then just "Skorro males" just beacuse we think Skorro male is older/more dominant/ more impressive/ senior member/whatever else or because we think Skorro pride is better/has longer legacy/whatever else because it would be just simply falsifying reality. Legacy of Ximunghwe pride will remain exactly the same wether we would be naming this pride as Ximunghwe pride or with some other name.

Anyway in the end it will be come down to decision of guides of western sector however they will be calling this new potentiall pride.

She is supposed to give birth very soon for a long time already and no such think happens. In fact she is seen keeping on mating with males...  I think it is very likely she is even not pregnant at all. Also even if she is I do not see why her giving birth would be a reason for her to stay away from the young Othawa female. In fact as both those females are at mating stage of their lifes and with Nkuchuma/Birmingham (or maybe should I just call them Birmingham males because Birmingham male is "senior member" in this coalition?) establishing themselfs as dominant males in the arena it is likely those two females will be spending their time around same arena with mentioned males is even if Ximunghwe famale would want to stay away from Othawa breakaway female it would be difficult to do so in practice.
