Accept/except

Thanks for letting me know you reverted my edit. The definitions at Adinkra are from Rattray—we can't change them without noting it and having a source. I found this sentence, '"Gye 'Nyame" means either ' Except God ', or Accept God ', the former interpretation being the more likely of the two, in which case the phrase in full should be "Agye Nyame".' in Self-help and expansion: a review of the work and aims of the Youth Conference, with a statement of its policy for 1943, and the action consequent upon that policy (1943), by Joseph Boakye Danquah. Is that correct, especially the change from "Gye" to "Agye"?

I wish I'd given a link to where I found the definition from Rattray, because I can't find it now.

Various sources on the Web say it should be understood as "only God" or as "[I fear no one] except God." Are those correct?

It's really remarkable that the same Ashanti word or two very similar words should be translated into English as "accept" and "except". —JerryFriedman (Talk) 05:10, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Or did Rattray actually write "Except God"? —JerryFriedman (Talk) 20:33, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Welcome, Am sure Rattray wrote "Except God". I think where "Accept" is appropriate is when and how it is used. I will say most Ghanaian languages have words that can refer to several words in English and other languages. I will make sure this is clear to both of us if "Gye" can signify "Accept" OR "Except" from my local mailing list from native speakers. If you wouldn't mind I can cc you into the mail. Thanks →Enock4seth (talk) 20:54, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I'm glad "Accept" is gone. When the information from Rattray was added to the article, the definition of that symbol was ' Except God (I fear none).' If that's what Rattray wrote, that's what the article should say. There could be a note adding that according to some sources, the meaning is that no one alive today was present at the creation of the world, except God [1] [2].
Sorry if I came across as doubting that the word had both meanings. I'm familiar with the fact that words in any language will be translated as various words in another language. When I said it was remarkable, I meant the coincidence that the Akan word had meanings whose English translations sounds the same—I just enjoy coincidences like that. I believed you, so I don't need any further evidence from your mailing list, though I appreciate the offer. —JerryFriedman (Talk) 21:50, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Cool! thanks for believing in me :-) and also contributing to this article. There is work underway to create individual articles for all the symbols with detailed explanations and that will help. Nice talking to you on Wikipedia. →Enock4seth (talk) 21:55, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Ghana Demographics

I'm surprised to learn on Ghana page that there are 6 million illegal immigrants and 3 million aliens. And the number of Ghanaian nationals resident in Ghana is 15 million. Well, I'm not sure if you're the author of that deceiving information on Ghana page but I know you're one of the contributors. Hell knows that there are no 6 million illegal immigrants in Ghana, Ghana is not your typical advance country like US that attracts so many illegals. Unless you tell me that those Ghanaian citizens, whose ethnic backgrounds does not correspond to a typical Ghanaian ethnicity like Ewes, Akans, Ga Adangbes and Dagombas, are the illegal aliens. Its a disgrace to put this kind of divisive information in wikipedia because the world is watching. This kind of information does not reflect true history of Ghana and is only divisive. Most of the ancestors of the so called 6 million illegal immigrants migrated to Ghana pre independence and majority had established settlements (Zongos, etc) centuries before. I simply do not understand how those people are illegals. People should do their research properly and consult indepenedent history books written by scholars abroad before they come to those conclusions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.142.1.10 (talk) 19:07, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Anonymous user, you have talked your mind :-). So what do you want me to do? Let me know. Also learn to use clean, not dirty language on the internet. Only cowards do that. Thanks. →Enock4seth (talk)
