Meaning
International — but reshaped in Iyaric. Where 'inter' suggests turning inward, Rastafari replaces it with 'outer', reaching outward to the whole world and all people. 'Outernational' reggae or an 'outernational' message goes out to embrace humanity across borders. Another example of Rasta word-sound-power turning a word toward a positive, expansive sense.
