Wenza i-althare lomnikelo wokushiswa ngokhuni lomkhambathi; laba ngamakhubhithi ayisihlanu ubude, namakhubhithi ayisihlanu ububanzi; laba yisikwele, nokuphakama kwalo kwaba ngamakhubhithi amathathu. Wenza izimpondo emakhoneni alo omane, izimpondo zazenzelwe kulo; wazemboza ngethusi. Wenza zonke izimpahla ze-althare; amabhodwe, amafosholo, imicengezi, izimfologo nemicengezi yomlilo, konke wakwenza ngethusi. Walenzela i-althare inetha lethusi elenziwe njengenetha phansi konqenqema lwe-althare ukuba lifinyelele ngaphakathi kwe-althare ukuya phezulu. Wenza amasongo amane okulithwala, wawabeka emakhoneni omane. Wenza izingongolo ngokhuni lomkhambathi, wazicaka ngethusi, wazifaka izingongolo emasongweni asezinhlangothini ze-althare, ukuze lithwalwe ngazo. I-althare walenza ngamapulangwe; laba wugobhozi. Wenza umcengezi nesinqe sawo ngethusi lezibuko zabesifazane ababesebenza emnyango wethende lokuhlangana. Wenza negceke; ngaseningizimu kwakulenga amakhethini enziwe ngelineni lemicu ephothiweyo ecolekileyo, lingamakhubhithi ayikhulu ubude; izinsika zalo zazingama-20, nezisekelo zalo zethusi ezingama-20; izinkintsho zezinsika nezibopho kwakuyisiliva. Ngasohlangothini lwasenyakatho kunamakhethini angamakhubhithi ayikhulu ubude; izinsika zawo bungama-20, izisekelo zawo ezingama-20 zilithusi, izinkintsho namabhande kulisiliva. Ngasohlangothini lwasentshonalanga kulenga amakhethini angamakhubhithi angama-50 ubude, enezinsika ezilishumi, nezisekelo ezilishumi; izinkintsho namabhande kulisiliva. Ngasohlangothini lwasempumalanga kungamakhubhithi angama-50. Amakhubhithi ohlangothini lwesango ayengamakhubhithi ali-15, enezinsika ezintathu, nezisekelo ezintathu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi kusuka ngapha kuya ngale kwesango legceke kwakulenga amakhethini angamakhubhithi ali-15, enezinsika ezintathu, nezisekelo ezintathu. Onke amakhethini eyezungeze igceke ayenziwe ngelineni lemicu ephothiweyo. Izisekelo zezinsika zazilithusi; izinkintsho zezinsika namabhande akhona kulisiliva; izihloko zalo zicakwe ngesiliva, zonke izinsika zegceke zinezibopho zesiliva. Isihenqo sesango legceke sasihlotshiswe ngensonto eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ngokubukhwebezane, ngokubomvu, nangelineni lemicu ephothiweyo elicolekileyo. Kwakungamakhubhithi angama-20 ubude, ukuphakama nobubanzi balo bungamakhubhithi ayisihlanu, kulingana namakhethini egceke. Kwakunezinsika ezine nezisekelo zazo ezine kungezethusi, izinkintsho zalo kungezesiliva, izihloko zazo zembozwe ngesiliva, nezibopho zalo zingezesiliva. Zazilithusi macala wonke zonke izikhonkwane zethabanakeli nezegceke.
