"about"

This relates somewhat to the discussion not too long ago about how to express 
"about" in Klingon.  
An English noun followed by a prepositional phrase corresponds in Twi (a 
language spoken in Ghana) to a noun plus a subordinate clause.  The way to say "a 
book (which is) about Ghana" literally means "a book which takes hold of 
Ghana's self".
