ASAGA TOWN

Asaga is a famous town in Ohafia local government area in Abia state south-eastern Nigeria that was founded by Ukpai Ezema Atita (Okwara). The town is one (1) of twenty-six (26) villages and towns in Ohafia LGA. Asaga is closed to places like Ebem, Amuke, Eziafor, Ndi-Orieke, Ndi-Ibe and other neighboring community.

There is a hilly elevation sited along the road that welcomes people to Asaga town which makes one view Asaga from a far distance, it is said that the mountain contains lots of minerals, this site will favor a Ceramic industry.

The town is an Igbo speaking community and has a very strong tradition from Ohafia such as Ezi ra ali which means "compound and land" but the "Ezi ra ali" rite is legalized for the identification of paternal descent, person, and place. The rite is about the positioning of a newborn child within social, terrain, temporal and spatial. Children grow and come to realize that this terrain has their history engrave in it.

Can someone tell me the various definitions of "Nsu" in Igbo?
The root being "su" to break out suddenly, or strike out. I am not referring to "nsu" stuttering or stammering.

I have researched on my own and seen nsu means
- loom or posts on a loom
- loss
- rammer used to strike gunpowder for a rifle.
- a type of segmentary lineage group

Please help me define "nsu", as this is research for a writing project. Thanks in advance
