Did you know that the book of Matthew in the Jita language contains 23,015 words? I'm currently spell-checking every...single...word.
Thankfully, our translation software has many tools to help with the process, but it still takes a lot of careful concentration. For example, while spell-checking Matthew 26:34 where Jesus tells Peter that Peter will deny him three times, I found these four words all translated as "you will deny me."
waanyigaanire
waanyiigaanire
wanyigaanire
wanyiigaanire
Which spelling is correct?
If we break down the word into its smallest units of meaning we find:
wa-a-ny-igaan-ire = waanyigaanire
Please pray for us as we finish these final steps in the book of Matthew so that it can be published!
