Here's one week of religion-related words for Doayâu. To give you some context, Doayâu is a Coastal Western language with strong influence from a Lukpanic substratum (Fu Pitão), and the culture is likewise a hybrid of two very different early-bronze-age cultures: the trade-oriented city-dwellers of the Lukpanic coast on the one hand, and the militaristic Western nomads on the other hand.

20.
mùyugau (n.) 'summer solstice'
