Hello. I have this text in wich some prince is happy that the king is dying. He just found out that he is going to be king, he is a little drunk and he shouts: Long live Bang Ghedalia! (Ghedalia is his name). I've found this "Long live Bang Someone" in several contexts on the internet, but I don't understand the meaning of that "Bang". Please help me with some suggestions. Thank you.

ben Gedaliah
Just a shot in the dark here :)
I think you might be dealing with a typo. The contexts you have mentioned seem to have "Bang" as a first (?) name in other languages, but still a name, without any specific meaning. However, you can find several persons called "Ben Ghedalia" or even more of them called "Ben Gedaliah", as part of a Hebrew name. Also, are you working on a transcript? The author might have transferred the "g" in Ghedalia to "ben" and then tried to come up with some spelling that would make sense.

Sau bang ar putea exprima surpriza prinţului la aflarea veştii. Ceva de genul : şi dintr-odată/pe neașteptate sunt rege!
Something went wrong...
