Longest word ever!

 

Ok, maybe it's not the longest word ever, but it's still impressive. Recently, I was working on spell-checking the Jita translation of the Bible and I discovered this word. It's in Matthew 17:12 where Jesus explains that John the Baptist was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy about preparing the way for the Messiah. The Jewish religious leaders did not recognize the significance of John's ministry. That's what our word means.

:bhataamusombookeeywe means "they did not recognize him"

It's important to check the spelling carefully because one little mistake can change the meaning dramatically.
