Yonder

Alex's counterpart gave birth to a little girl last Tuesday. As is fashion here, it is taking them a bit to decide on a name. Helen, Alex's counterpart and the baby's mother, wants to name the child Yonder, as in "When the road is called up yonder, I'll be there", it's lyrics from a song they sing in church. With the accent, Yonder is pronounced 'yoon-der'. The children want to name the child Erica and some one else has suggested naming the child a local language word that would translate to "over yonder".
