The Greek and Ge’ez that is translated in English as «proud» or «arrogant» is translated in Chimborazo Highland Quichua as «making yourself chief.» (Source: Julia Woodward in The Bible Translator 1950, p. 140ff. )

In Isthmus Zapotec it is translated as «snobby» and in Sierra de Juárez Zapotec as «thinking they are the people of worth.» (Source: Waterhouse / Parrott in Notes on Translation October 1967, p. 1ff.)

In Elhomwe it is «to lift oneself up,» i.e. «to be pompous.» (Source: project-specific translation notes in Paratext)

For «proud» also see humble / lowly and pride.
