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"

Hello Everyone,
As most of you know, I can only speed pure Ewe. lol
There was an edit on Adinkra Symbolshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adinkra_symbolsand got into a discussion with another Wikipedian. After he undid and an anonymous users edit from "except God" to "Accept God". I undid his edit and notified him it's 'Except'.
Can someone tell me the words that are used in English to refer to 'Gye'
and 'Gye Nyame' I know all this while is 'Except God'
Thanks
- Enock.
