Zep Tepi

The above redirects here, but it is not mentioned in the article. What does it mean please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.128.49 (talk) 10:41, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The transliterated version of the term, zp tpj, is mentioned in the lead. It means "the first time", that is, the time of creation. I used the transliterated version because the sources I have render the term that way. The redirect "Zep Tepi" was originally a separate article, which I merged into this one. For reasons why, see this discussion between me and another editor.
Did you discover the redirect because some other article redirects to Zep Tepi? If so, I might want to check what that article says and see if it's accurate. The Zep Tepi article attracted a fair amount of fringe speculation before it was merged. A. Parrot (talk) 18:51, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks for explanation. Would it be good to include this explanation in the article? You as how I discovered the redirect: I ended up on this page by typing "zep tepi" into google after reading it elsewhere on the web, not from another wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.128.139 (talk) 19:45, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I mentioned "Zep Tepi" in parentheses, which is a bit clumsy but better than nothing. I really should rework this whole article—I could do it far better than I did four years ago, and there is so much more depth to the subject—but I have way too much on my plate. A.
