Bemé

Etymology

From abo "father".

Pronunciation

Note: although word-final /o/ in Bijun is usually pronounced /u/, in this case this pronunciation is reserved for the noun abo, of which Abo is derived.

Noun

Abo

  1. (Christianity, chiefly in the Poccasin Federation) A title given to priests [synonym: Papa]
    Abo Pati dan silin Bemeh Beybl.
    "Father Pati wrote the Bemé Bible."
  2. (Christianity) the Heavenly Father
    Wey Abo ni skey, yu neym bi bles.
    "Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name." (Matthew 6:9)

Usage notes

Abo, like the equivalent title of "Father" in English, is always spelled with an initial capital. For the noun of which the title is derived, see abo.
