Issaias had coined a word for Woyanies, long before Abiy started calling them the ስግብግብ ጁንታ Junta.
Issaias had been calling the Woyanie Tigraians, who have already been stashed to the dustbins of history, as ጭፍራ ወያነ for the last 22 years.
I just asked my friend whose Tigrinya is better than mine, he told me, in Tigrinya, ጭፍራ is used to describe a tribe or a troop of monkeys.
No idea, how this will be translated into Amharic. The ethnic Amiches, the ninth ethnic of Eritrea may come to the rescue.
Conflicts and wars also play a role in developing new words or phrases to describe the new situation.
