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
