@snKwaku thank you for putting us to work. Where I am from, the response to sneezing all depends on who sneezes; a baby, an adult, or a notable person/custodian of animal spirits. In my community, it’s the leopard spirit. When a baby sneezes, the mother moves her tongue repeatedly between her upper and lower teeth which produces a ‘smacking’ sound.
When an elder or a notable person sneezes the response is “Mbak mmũ ngbɛ achɨkɨ bɛchɨkɨ, Ɔ̌kɛmɛ yi bɛ” “Agwe” There is no translation of these words in english. They’re said as they are. Hope this helps. 🟥⬛🟩
