Kabelo

Sesotho and Setswana for a share or portion, in the sense of something allotted or given.

Meaning and origin

Kabelo is built on the same Sotho-Tswana root that gives the verb for handing something out or apportioning it, so the noun reads as "a share" or, loosely, "a gift one has received".
