welfare - arioba (originally means enjoyment)
aborigines of canada - ivbiotor (indigenes)

Oh, thanks for these words Ezotik. I will write them down.

Please, why is it that Edo state have standarized the ortography to include no tonal marks?? I found a dictionary, but no tonal marks whatsoever. How can they expect anyone to learn the languages like this?

starflux, i honestly dont know. but what i noticed is that the older books by old writers have tonal marks. i guess the recent writers are not too sure of where to place the tones correctly as placing a tone incorrectly can give a word a new meaning. i for example is also not to sure, so most times, i just spell the way i pronounce. i will try and add more words as they come to mind to thread especially words i feel are going obsolete. but without tones tho

I see.

Well, I guess it's better to just learn the words and then being corrected later.
Looking forward to your words!

Snow- esia.

LOOOL, I got banned 5 times for writing in this thread.

Ones there's a word that's tagged as spam in a post, the entire post will be hidden and the poster will be banned.

Let me try again.

Thanks for all these words!

Can you tell me what ilaw agbon means? I know agbon, but the other part? It was written like one word, but I got banned for it.

bokohalal:

Snow- esia.

what's the original meaning? or it is a new word?

Afam4eva:

ok

@starflux 'ilaw agbon' not too sure what that would mean. the closest i can guess is 'ilagbon' meaning 'into the world' or 'into life'

Ila uwa agbon-I am in the world.

Some corrections.

God punish pyguru. We have to seek a way to change the spellings of some bini names to prevent this incessant bans.
