Thanks for another nice puzzle.

Akwaaba. That's Akan for "You're welcome."

Here's something I just learned: The Akan tribes speak various dialects of Twi. The language is very rich in proverbs, the use of which is taken to be a sign of wisdom.

The Ashanti tribe of the Akan are the largest tribe in Ghana and one of the few matrilineal societies in West Africa. Once renown for the splendour and wealth of their rulers, they are most famous today for their craft work, particularly their hand-carved stools and fertility dolls and their colourful kente cloth. Kente cloth is woven in bright, narrow strips with complex patterns; it's usually made from cotton and is always woven outdoors, exclusively by men.

These symbols really make great puzzles! Thank you Teresa!

I had fun making these, Petra. There is one more.

good. I'm glad there's more. I'm enjoying them too. ;)

Thanks, Telly.

This continues to be a fun, educational series! I so enjoy the stories behind the symbols.

Thanks, Sallie.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.
