The phrase “Hasa Diga Eebowai!” [f-u God] includes the compound term “Hasa Diga.” Eebowai means God. My question is, which word is the f-word and which is the u-word?
Does hasa mean f and diga means you? Or maybe (in that language or dialect) the pronoun(?) “you” would precede the verb(?) “f”. So then the word for f is actually diga.
In support of the latter is the phrase “Ma ha nei bu, Eebawai!” – Thank you God!
Isn’t it possible (probable?) that nei bu means “thanks” and Ma ha means “you”, or perhaps “to you” (parallel to the ha or hasa of the f-u phrase)?
Any insight would be appreciated.
p.s.
It is also possible that the spacing is f’d up. Maybe the first word is ha or has (meaning “you”) (even more closely matching the “Thank you God” phrase); and the f-word is either Sadiga or Adiga. Remember, words/syllables are not always broken up as we would expect, and spelling is not always as in English –- “Sal Tlay Ka Siti” as an example.
