It is also a name meaning "Man of Pillars" or "Noble". ==Impact structure== The town lies near the center of a 30 km diameter depression, which is a proposed but unconfirmed ancient impact structure called the "Wembo-Nyama ring structure". The roundness of the ring is underlined by a tributary of the Lomami river. A similar visual effect can be seen with Manicouagan impact structure in central Quebec, Canada, where a ring of water surrounds the central René-Levasseur Island. ==See also== Siljan Ring List of possible impact structures on Earth ==References== Google Earth view of Omeonga and around
