Don't ever believe that the word Kinabalu derived from the word "Kina-Chinese" and balu-widow"!
Kinabalu is originally from the term of Aki Nabalu: the Keeper of gate to heaven for the Dusun (as most Ranau area inhabitants are of Dusunic tribe, not Kadazan). Aki means old man (sacred icon), in Dusun community the elders are always respectable; old man is mostly chosen as the keeper instead of old woman because old female had the role as bobolian (priestess) to the equal the importance of both gender. Probably this Aki of Nabalu is in second line after the family of Kinorohingan. Besides, if the so-called Chinese lady wanted to climb Kinabalu back then, she already dead halfway to the summit due to the environment condition. And really idiot; even if she did reached the summit what else could she saw except for the white cloud surrounding the summit? Even if she stayed there waiting for a fine day for a clear view of the South China Sea, she would had already frozen beforehand. The first self-claimed historian who started this nonsense must had never climbed the mountain at the first place!
They are really changing the tradition and heritage of Dusun - damn you all the writers who claim intelligent but dare to lie in this important fact!
