    Peace Is A Blessing

    In Babungo, a language of Cameroon,
    “Zutə” [Zūtə᷆̄n] means both peace and blessing

    in English we have peace and calm synonyms
    or peace and piece homonym
    in Babungo we have “Zutə”

    the “ə” is called a schwa and is pronounced uh
    like the “a” in alone and is sometimes almost silent
    like the second o in choc(ə)late
