Huita’u eyana o lea ti neviki o lea neape.
“His goodness is exceeded only by his charity.”
Notes: Since I brought it up yesterday, I figured I should do an entry for eyana. Eyana is the basic word for “good”, insofar as something can be good. It is old, general and basic. Its iku is the “good” circle inside of a square, which is about as conceptual as these glyphs get. The idea is that the iku embodies the quality of goodness—or, perhaps, quality itself.
I really did think that I’d done this one ages ago, since it’s so basic. Oh well. Happy day, everyone!
