For Rotuman language week, it's interesting to note that the word for a church in Rotuman is 'ekaresaia - derived, like Samoan and Niuean ekalesia, from the classical Greek word for an assembly (ekklesia). #rotumanlanguageweek
Greek and Roman roots in Pacific languages, no. 3: ekalesia, Samoan for 'church.' From English 'ecclesiastic,' hence ultimately from Greek ἐκκλησία, originally 'an assembly' (the Athenian Assembly, for example) but later used of Christian congregations. #polynesia #etymology
