[Lexicog] Equivalents for German "Heimat"

[John Roberts]

Fritz,

In Amele (Papuan) *jobon* 'village' is the equivalent to English *home*
rather than *jo* 'house'. If you say *ija jobon nuigina* lit. "I am going
village" it means "I am going home'. In Amele 'home' is being amongst your
people rather than being in a special geographical location.
