Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from Seneca Thanksgiving Rituals<br/><br/>The word 'thanksgiving' seems no worse a choice than any other and has been used by most previous writers. When confronted with the Seneca words involved, some speakers balk at any attempt to give an English equivalent. Others translate, to some extent accord ing to context, as 'thank, be thankful or grateful to or for, rejoice in, bless, greet'. The trouble is that the Seneca concept is broader than that expressed by any simple English term, and covers not only the conventionalized amenities of both thanking and greeting, but also a more general feeling of happiness over the existence Of something or someone. One result is that the English distinction between 'give thanks to' and 'give thanks for' has no relevance.
