In Cherokee, there are no words for:

Sin

Repentance

Forgiveness

Soul

Damnation

Salvation.

There is also no word for “megabyte.” Go figure.

Sheesh, even Latin has a word for megabyte. And I know it has one for all those other words.

Does Cherokee have words for:

honor

offense against honor

retribution for offense against honor

expiation for offense against honor

Just a little anti-Rousseau-ean check.

Is there a word for “No thanks, we’d rather stay here?” Seems like that would have come in handy.

á¼Î¼Î±ÏÏ„Î¯Î± (hamartia) is the Greek word translated in the NT as “sin.” Means “to miss the mark,” comes from archery lexicon. I know it’s stereotyping to talk about bows and arrows, but…

Or (kiddies cover your ears) isn’t there a Cherokee equivalent of “Dude, you fucked up.”
