Could someone fill me in quickly on what "sanwe" is please?

Interesting thing that bit about Voltaire; I don't know why I thought the phrase belongs to a modern day physicist.

According to the editorial glossary to Osanwe kenta, Enquiry into the Communication of Thought:

Quote:

sanwe= 'thought; a thought; as the action or an act of sama [mind]

Well Voltaire said (or more precisely, the lead character in Candide had a habit of saying) "Everything is for the best, in the best of all possible worlds". You are probably right about some physisist saying it, but I thought it was close enough to Voltaire to have been a slightly mis-worded quote.
