Comment: The ‘white asses’ are a symbol of triumph. The Ewe text retains this symbolic meaning.

Comment: In the passage, whereas the white horses symbolise good omen, the white and clean linen signifies purity. The Ewe text retains these symbolic meanings.

Passages that do not use the Ewe words for ‘white’

Rendition of ‘white linen’ as aklalabiibii (white linen) and aklala (a white cloth made from cotton)

Comment: In these four passages, ‘white linen’ symbolises holiness and righteousness. In the Ewe texts, these symbolic meanings are retained by the use of aklalabiibii and aklala which are Ewe names for white linen and white cloth respectively. So, the symbolisms are communicated through aklalabiibii and aklala to the Ewe audience although the Ewe term for white is not explicitly employed.

Rendition of ‘lightning’ literally as dzikedzo
