What Are The Children Saying & What Could It Mean?

While Jade (David Alpay) did briefly see children lying on stone tablets, and this was the phrase that they repeated, Tabitha has been hearing the word for some time already. Still, the Redditor did some deep digging on the subject, and they presented a pretty convincing case that they may have gotten to the bottom of this particular mystery.
“The pronoun ‘hanc,’ which is the accusative feminine singular of hic, meaning this,” the user explained. “The interjection ‘hui’ is used to express surprise or admiration. Together, they would form the phrase hanc hui, which would (or could?) mean that this (Tabitha in this case) is something they admire,” they went on. “I’m not sure how correct Google Translate is with Latin, but it translates the phrase to ‘this one.'”
Meanwhile, u/swingdatrake suggested a different translation for the “From” phrase in another thread. “In Greek, ‘Ακούει,’ which is phonetically close and pronounced ah-koo-ey, means ‘he/she/it is listening,” they wrote. “Heavily implied that it’s an ‘it’ here.” On the other hand, u/thecabeman offered several other possibilities, including French translations of “wherein” or “in leather.” Luckily, given that the series has been renewed for a third season, fans can likely expect to get a little more context on the meaning of the word, if not total clarity, when the show inevitably returns.
