I learned a great word in Jula today, and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll agree. The word is \u201cciden.\u201d Here, kids are often sent to go buy or get something. For example, \u201cJoceba, here\u2019s 20 cents. Run next door to the Mom and Pop shop and buy some soap so I can wash my clothes.\u201d The word for \u201csend\u201d like that is \u201cci.\u201d A \u201cden\u201d is a kid. So a \u201cciden\u201d is the kid that you send on an errand.<\/p>\n
That makes sense, but what I loved was the other sense of the word. It\u2019s also used in the Bible as the title for people like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Elijah, John the Baptist, etc. It\u2019s the Jula word for \u201cprophet.\u201d Isn\u2019t that great? They are the ones that God sent to us with His message. It\u2019s rich with meaning that our word \u201cprophet\u201d doesn\u2019t really carry, at least not anymore. If a child asks what a prophet is, you\u2019d have to explain that it is someone who gives God\u2019s messages to people. But in Jula that\u2019s already built into the word. \u201cCidenw\u201d (the plural form) are the people God sent to the world. I love it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
