I think out of all those translations, telolu could be used.

Oh okay. Engligbo. Honestly, I think Engligbo can be curbed by re-instituting Igbo in Igbo society, like Peter Obi (I believe that's his name) is trying to do in Anambra. It'll take some time though to get everyone back to the proper Igbo mentality, though, but I think it'll be worth it.

Telolu doesn't sound bad actually. Speaking about the telephone though, we've gone through a few expressions in our house, none of which stuck. So we ended up resorting back to 'phone'.

I wonder when Asusu Igbo would be complete as a language. Its embarrassing for me to speak EngliIgbo most times.

Dem_People, you'd be surprised how complete Igbo is.

Translation:
N'ama nta no n'obodo dikarikasiri ukwu n'odida anwu, agbaliri m iziga ozi igwe e ji maara m ka m nwe ike ikwu ugwo oku m, bia achofuta na ihe nkowasi m ka na-eche ka onye njikata orunotu bia emegharia ya n'ubochi ozo.

Interestingly. . . The Igbo translation is shorter, when written. I also took the liberty of counting the syllables, and found that the English translation has 75 syllables, and the Igbo translation has 71 syllables.

Maybe our issue is not that Igbo is lacking. Maybe our issue is that most people are so much more accustomed to speaking English over Igbo, that it seems as if we're losing our fluency in Igbo.[/quote]

What words are you missing?

On another note there's no such thing as a complete language. This sentence alone does not contain words only of English origin.

What about 'republican' in Igbo or 'republic' I saw on the internet Ochichi iwu, as in 'Law regime'.

Republic; Ohaneze

So that's 'the state (public) and the king', or 'the public as the king'?

More like, 'the state (public) and the representative'.

What would we do without people like you

What does Akanu mean, Ibiam, and Kamalu? I can guess, but I want the specific meaning.

Ibiam resembles Ibibio.

Someone from Enugwu would know [talking about Akanu and Ibiam]. Kamalu though, you would have to ask the Aro. It is basically their word/name.

Kamalu ikere (full name) is the oracle of the people of Ohafia
