Looking a bit closer, I'm getting aware that you don't mean "Das Hohelied" =
=3D=0D
(Hebr.: "shir-ha-shir=EDm"; Lat.: "canticum canticorum")=20
but want to express the word "psalm" (Gr.: "psalm=F3s") or "psalter" by {ga=
lk=3D=0D
la se sanga}.
I do not think that this can give the meaning - and is misleading anyway. S=
=3D=0D
o, why not go to the roots of the word "psalm=F3s" which=20
is from "psallein" and having the plain meaning of "to pluck the zither", h=
=3D=0D
ence maybe {jgita se sanga}, {gitselsanga} or does this=20
sound too trivial?
