Não há dia em que eu não faça uma pesquisa na net que não descortine coisas interessantes. Sobre o mundo, sobre Cabo Verde e, principalmente, sobre a visão que as pessoas têm sobre determinados assuntos. Nem sempre concordo, mas é absolutamente fascinante descobrir essas opiniões. Hoje encontrei este site: http://www.multiculturas.com/vb-salah.htm e deparei-me com Mr. Salah Matteos. Um americano descendente de caboverdeanos com um percurso de vida extraordinário. A ler e a reflectir, concordando-se ou não. Deixo aqui um pequeno trecho, a título de curiosidade e também, para lançar uma acha à fogueira.
“I would like to bring something else to your attention; one of the ancient names of the archipelago called Cabo Verde was called by many of the elders AZIJAH that is in part African Arab tongue. AZIJAH means the mighty Power of God. The prefix Aziz means Power or the Precious of God. The Djah or Jah or Dia means God or Allah or Deus all are the same. Jah is the suffix. The two words together form AZIJAH, which again is to say The Mighty Power Of God or the PRECIOUS of God. The Creole (pidgin) is Guinea Arab Africa, Portuguese and other variables in terms of other languages. For example the late Dr. Amílcar Lopes Cabral (aka) was ABEL-Djassi or Djhassi, which meant the servant or God, Abel meaning servant and Jah in its variables meaning God or Deus or Allah as you wish.”
