Editing Hutu (section)

==Etymology==
The idea that Hutu is etymologically derived from a word that signifies slave was advanced by Ernest Viaene (1910, p.1047) and contradicted by {{ill|René Bourgeois|fr|René Bourgeois}}, who suggested that it originally meant "lords" in relation to the subordinate Twa pygmies. René Bourgeois reported that among the [[Mongo people]] of the [[DRC]], Bantu people governing on the local Twa were called "Bahoto" or "Bawoto", terms cognate to the “Bahutu” of Rwanda and Burundi, and which meant “lords” in the local language (not serfs) because they governed over the Pygmies.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books/about/Banyarwanda_et_Barundi.html?id=IV6izwEACAAJ&redir_esc=y|title=Banyarwanda et Barundi.
