Kayasanoda has a root "holu" (you'll catch the Latin
origin in a bit), which, if you stuck a nominative -da
at the end--holuda--you wouldn't really have much of a
word.  However, if you put it with
"human"--holukayada--you have something which means,
"a person, taken as the heart, mind, soul, and spirit,
functioning in accord as one unit."  Analogously,
putting it with "God" (yawe) produces Holuyaweda,
meaning "Trinity".
