I think getting individual article for all these
Adinkra Symbols with
their images and uses, ie. on furniture, dresses, etc. will be a great
thing.
What do you say.
Gye Nyame is my all time favorite, if am going to start then it is first.
Thanks.

That's interesting. The word 'Gye' can mean two different things
depending
on the context in which it was used. But
referring to the "Gye Nyame"
statement, it means, "Except God" or "Unless God".
"Accept God"? Not true, based on the context. It is right to say so,
but
looking at the background of that statement, its
"Except God"
