Migwo does not mean good morning. It is a greating that juniors give to their elders. It means I am kneeling on my knees. You kneel down and say it. The elder will now say vrendo. Which means rise.

Eguono means love

Not trying to irritate you, but I think Isoko is not an ethnic rather they are Urhobo.

Look at Urhobo and Isoko words they just the same.

As a native Urhobo speaker, I can actually understand large parts of Isoko conversations but on the other hand they have no idea what I'm saying while speaking Urhobo. I don't know why.

They are both dialects of the same language, the name of which is neither urhobo nor isoko. The examples are above are just very basic words
When you start to make sentences with them, then the language begins to move apart.(intelligibility)

Look at Urhobo and Isoko words they just the same.

The separation started about 40years ago due to some political interest to create a division among the people...
There are even other urhobo dialects that sound so distinct but those people never forget their roots e.g the Urhobo people of Ofoni in Bayelsa, the Urhobo people of Ovia in Edo, the Urhobo people of Ewu in Delta (these people sound more like the Ijaws but they never forget their roots), the Okpe, Uvwie etc...
