While reading Matthew 16 with my language teacher, I was surprised at the length of this word (transliterated into English letters): Tsinastsarmetkveltaganiao, meaning prophet. She explained that this word is actually made up of three words:
Tsinastsar- before
Metkvel- to say
Taganiao- within
Literally translated, it means people who say something in advance, before it happens. It is not only meaningful, but also a mouthful!
