Hi guys,
I have three questions from watching the Lion King musical. All the songs, I think, are based on the movie.
Thanks for taking your time and energy.
1
My words are a matter of pride.
What does that mean, I am proud of what I say?
2
Power of retention=power of memory?
3
It's important to keep great and small on the "round".
4.
"In other"= in other cases |

In this case, it is a pun, a play on words. Pride can mean proud, but also pride is the name of a group of lions. You know, a flock of birds, a herd of elephants, a pack of wolves, a pride of lions. English has many such specialty group words.
