Chanuka in Swahili

The Chanuka blog by Pampauka in Kenya explains that Chanuka in Swahili means " lighten up! get into action! Complain less and Act more."

Oddly, in Hebrew it also means "lighten up," but in the literal sense :) [Technorati tag: chanukah]

Or more precisely it means "dedication" after the re-dedication of the Temple.
