genealogy

The Greek that is translated in English as “genealogies” is translated in Kwara’ae as “long stories about generations.” (Source: Carl Gross)

In Tabasco Chontal it is “names of inhabitants of a long time ago,” and in Sayula Popoluca “ancient names.” (Source: John Beekman & Harwood Hess in Notes on Translation, March 1963, p. 1ff.)

See also genealogy (Matthew 1:1).
