Looking For A Yoruba Word To Use For A Tattoo by Jenny8025: 8:04pm On Nov 01, 2014
Hi there,
I'm half yoruba half german and unfortunately i cant speak yoruba. I just know some few things and i want to get a tattoo with some birds and a yoruba Word that suits to the Symbol of birds. Can someone help me out with a yoruba word that has a nice meaning and still somehow fits to birds? I thought about omìnìra or ifokan bale but still not sure...

Jenny,

You can use any of these symbols:

Adaba -- dove
Aṣa -- hawk
Ẹyẹ -- Birds

Please use okin or ogongo. It is the best that Yoruba have as birds, though I prefer IGUN OR OWIWI. My best choice is eiye Agbigbo and pandoro. I love pepeye owubantutu.
