Meaning
Creation — reworked in Rastafari Iyaric so 'creation' becomes 'irieation/irieshun', blending 'irie' (good/positive) and the exalted 'I' with 'creation'. It names the whole of Jah's creation seen as good and positive, and reflects the Rasta practice of remaking words to centre the 'I' and strip out negativity.

Give thanks fi di whole irieshun.

Origin
