I've said a lot worse.

In Syriac I love the word purquana.

As in "Msheeka eylih purquana," which can translate literally to either "Christ is our saviour," and/or "Christ is our destroyer."

I think that one ambiguous word alone helps to illustrate the Assyrian people best and helps explains the Assyrian identity dilemma.
