"The word ghos-ti- was thus the central expression of the guest-host relationship, a mutual exchange relationship highly important to ancient #IndoEuropean society. A guest-friendship was a bond of trust between two people that was accompanied by ritualized gift-giving and created an obligation of mutual hospitality and friendship that, once established, could continue in perpetuity and be renewed years later by the same parties or their descendants. [Calvert Watkins, 'American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots"]' "

Today's #Etymology lesson (based on my response to someone's post). Did you know that the words #Ghost, #Guest and #Host have the same root? #Ghosti ! And it goes back to #ProtoIndoeuropean hospitality customs!
"*ghos-ti- Proto-Indo-European root meaning "stranger, guest, host," properly "someone with whom one has reciprocal duties of hospitality," representing "a mutual exchange relationship highly important to ancient Indo-European society" [Watkins]. "

You can reach out to your local intercultural association/organization, to get information on how to volunteer & help out newcomers/immigrants in your local area. There's always a need for more volunteers in the community to assist new immigrants to settle into their new lives.
In Victoria, we have the longtime Intercultural Association. Volunteers are needed, year round.

One of my clients today is a Somalian immigrant, of Muslim faith, who came to Canada (early 90s) after the Somalia Civil War ended & before more wars started up. He expressed many mixed emotions this morning, including feeling grateful that he's departing this Earth soon. He is 82 years old now & has shared a lot of his incredible lived experiences in 6 different countries. He had fled Somalia & was trying to obtain help in multiple nearby countries for several years before getting NGO help to exit & come to Canada. He told me how badly he was treated by Canadians, for being black & having a thick accent. We are going to the local mosque this afternoon 🙏
