ʻetsem
from my bones
Bone; by extension, a bodily frame or skeleton; figuratively, the essential substance or core of something (essence, self, strength, very). 'Etsem' primarily denotes an anatomical bone, but it also serves as a metaphor for the foundational or substantive part of a person, thing, or group—what is essential, enduring, or identical to itself. In some contexts it functions as an intensifier (e.g., 'the very same day').
