The Corporeal Values or Atšuoa Orunuobea are key values that pop up again and again in Nolwynn culture. They are derived from the creation myth, where the goddess Tšees imbued different body parts with different abilities. Those abilities in turn became symbolic for important spiritual values. They are also associated with colors.
Word | Literal Meaning | Spiritual Value |
---|---|---|
Atšuo | body | fortitude, resilience |
Goro | hair | strength |
Tšyim | heart | lovingkindness |
Kwey | womb | transformation |
Bwolo | leg, foot, toe | righteousness, dignity |
Syeerit | hand, finger, arm | justice |
Zwole | eye | truth |
Atsxoru | nose | insight |
Aleyma | ear | faith |
Gweyna | belly | creation |
Ootsea | face, personality, selfhood | divinity |
Uakwuo | blood, soul | family |
Most everything in Nolwynn religion comes back to these values. They are considered important elements that must be respected or harm could come to the clan.
The Corporeal Values are intimately connected to the Avoidance Language. Read more about it in the article Honorifics and Avoidance Language .
