* Adin - meaning "to say" or "to speak"
* Krá - meaning "to have something to say" or "to be worthy of mention"
Therefore, Adinkra means "to speak to" or "to be worthy of mention".
It's important to note that "Adinkra" also refers to a specific type of visual symbol system used by the Akan people of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. These symbols, called Adinkra symbols, represent proverbs, philosophical concepts, and historical events, and are often used in clothing, textiles, and other crafts.
So, when you say "Adinkra", you can be referring to either the concept of "being worthy of mention" or to the specific system of visual symbols.
