Thurg, thanks for that information. I'm wondering, on the east coast of Canada, is the word "sukie" used as an adjective and/or as part of an expression? And does any particular group [race/ethnicity] use this word or expression more than others?

Also, "Akosua" is one form of then Akan {Ghana, The Ivory Coast] female name that means "female born on Sunday" {"Kwesi" is the male form of that name}.

I'm not sure what's the correct pronunciation of "Akosua", but if the accent is put on the second to the last syllable as is the case with a lot of "English" names, Akosua would be pronounced ah-koo-SUE-ah. So does this have anything to do with "Ah Sukey Sukey?"

Maybe. Maybe not.
