[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3497975, member: 2844"]I think that started when Haile Selassi (formerly Ras Tafari) visited Indonesia in the late '60s.:pompous: Some people spell the Javanese word ganja as gonjo. Neither spelling is the same as the actual pronunciation. I have read 19th century Dutch sources writing it as gånjå, using the Danish å. That comes closest to the pronunciation. Riveting stuff, I know.:hilarious:[/QUOTE]
