The Nte teriko mukira clan takes the tailless cow as its omuziro, the primary totem. Its akabbiro, the secondary totem, is recorded as Crested Crane (Ngali). Drawn from Roscoe (1911); this page grows as further sources are reviewed.
Roscoe (1911), listing the clans of Buganda with their totems, records the tailless cow (Nte teriko mukira) as the omuziro of this clan, with Crested Crane (Ngali) as its akabbiro. Spelling follows Roscoe’s 1911 transcription and awaits native-speaker review.
