Gee (Yee) Haw, Ka and Karrender (Southern US, East Anglia UK)

Gee (Yee) is an animal command for horses and in the old days, plough Oxen to turn right.  While Haw is the left directional command.  The European, Southern and Haitian term 'Horse' has the connotation of a spiritually or magically 'possessed' human, animal or spirit.  So Yee (Gee)haw is the word urging a spirit in all directions of operation.  Haw is left in the US, it is right in the UK.  Gee is left in the UK and right in the United States.  Ka and Karrender are East Anglian (sometimes invocatory) words that mean "Look Here/Manifest", sort of an 'English Amen'.   Ka is used by The Way of Eight Winds (Magister Nigel Pennick).  Please see Secrets of East Anglian Magic - Page 134.  'Karrender' seems to be almost forgotten.  Ka is used by the Cultus Sabbati, but may be more related to the Egyptian word Ka (Soul/Double).
