Owo (Hand)
Owo (Broom)
Owo ( Town in ondo)
Owo ( Respect)

Looking at the correct spelling of most of the words we've all mentioned so far, we will see that not all have the same spelling in the real sense, considering the signs, syllables and stress that comes with each word.
Imagine @kekakuz comparing Owo (money) and Owo (Hand) it so far apart and that is the uniqueness of YORUBA language kiss kiss kiss kiss

Non has thesame spelling with what I mentioned above, i.e

Owo (money) and Owo (Business) did not have the amin sign, have you forgotten tongue tongue tongue
O wo ( You watched it) and O wo (it fell) there is a space between O and wo.
