Michael:

Maybe "braiding" is the wrong word, conjuring up a myriad separate
streams. These are big wide powerful rivers, and what I was seeing
was numerous sandy/gravel islands appearing as the water level falls
during the dry season. In turn, these suggested the likelihood of
scouring and shifting watercourses.

"BoNaZaZi" was my own lazy invention, since I can't for the life of
me remember the correct digraphs, and can never understand them when
anyone else uses them. So I stuck the first two letters of each
country together in alphabetical order, and obtained something that
seemed pleasingly African and hintingly close to "bonanza".
