Site frozen. Go to Anthrograph for the latest [July 4, 2025]

I am pleased to announce that I am debuting a new site for teaching resources at https://anthrograph.rschram.org. Please visit and browse.

The Anthrocyclopaedia will remain for now as an archive but will no longer be updated. I will be manually moving materials from this site to Anthrograph from today, editing and updating as I go. Thanks for your visits over the many years---over 10!---that this site has been active. I look forward to welcoming you to a new teaching site.

 +## An example from Auhelawa: preaching and sharing
 +
 +Out of its century of contact with Christianity, Auhelawa has developed a specialized Christian register. Two words in this register are important:
 +
 +* **guguya**: preaching, and in other contexts instruction and advice by a senior male matrilineal relative to juniors. 
 +* **aiyauya**: sharing, expressing personal thoughts and feelings in a group context, and in other contexts the equal apportionment of a resource (in contrast to reciprocal gifts). 
 +
 +
 +### Loise in church
 +
 +**walo teina ana mwalae**  
 +This is the end of this talk.
 +
 +**na nige mata ya__guguya__ na ambenalei**  
 +And I'm not going to __preach__ and you listen to it.
 +
 +[…]
 +
 +**hava yaluyaluwa ana ve’ita aliguwai na hava yaluyaluwa ana mohe aliguwai yamohegomiu na alimiyai**  
 +What the Spirit has showed to me, and what the Spirit has given me, I give to you all and it is with you.
 +
 +[…]
 +
 +**yaluyaluwa ana ve’ita ainaiena ya’__aiyauya__ alimiyai ahubena teina vehabana**  
 +I have __shared__ the teaching of the Spirit with you for today. (Loise, Sowala United Church, April 23, 2006)
