Prides are founded around social political structures and not bloodlines.
So even if for example Ximhungwe were to die. Gingerella would still directly continue the Ximhungwe prides position in the local lion dynamics and thus will still be considered the Ximhungwe pride.
While in the Talamatis case. The group with the strongest genetic representation left the old group formed a new pride while the least Talamati group continued the original one.

I see what you are saying but not really in my eyes if he passed away (hopefully not) her bloodline is gone ximhungwe name may live on but the the bloodline is gone, talamati pride is a little different since the msutlu pride is literally the talamati pride a name change doesn’t mean much to me if we are being honest the talamati pride is then nkuhuma pride so the nkuhuma prides bloodline will likely never end since it’s 4 different prides branching off from them but the ximhungwes is a different story same with the tsalala pride and the mhangeni and kambulas and nstevu. Sparta pride too the prides name is gone but the bloodline is not it lives threw basically the entire central and western sabi sands. Ximhungwe female is alone No brothers no sisters no mother just her and the long history of the pride is with her. Gingerella carry’s the othawa bloodline can’t change the genetics but she can be called ximhungwe but she is an othawa Reply
