All of the above answers are true.
My understanding is that it brings good luck to toboa that hole using your thumb.

Didn't know that. I thought it was a Kikuyu and Maasai thing only.

This bone is from the upper end of the goat's or sheep's front arm (guoko).
Toboaring the hole signifies gratitude and in cultural superstitious belief it is suppossed to bring good luck to the giver and recipient of the guoko.
You've heard of terms like "gucokia guoko" etc...
The guoko is a very culturally important part of the goat in Kikuyu culture.

Tuiria umenye.
