Rastafarian language. It is formed by a combination of Iya (higher) and Amharic, the language spoken by Haile Selassie I. Dreadlocks describes the locks they wear, now universally called dreadlocks in English. The word is related to the fear of the Lord, as well as the fear locksmen inspired in the early stages of the movement. To Rastas, dreadlocks are a deeply spiritual part of who they are. They cite the Bible verse, And she made a vow, saying, O LORD Almighty, if you will only look upon your servants misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the LORD for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head. Samuel 1 1:11. They point to pictures of H.I.M. (His Imperial Majesty) Haile Selassie I as a young man wearing dreadlocks; this was their way of honoring H.I.M. Have a gud evening fellas Nico-dee
