(igbo Language) Udu by kingsleyy32: 1:15am On Jun 02, 2015
Just wondering is there a difference between udu and idudu in Igbo language? **clay pot**

When I google I have seen both and they appear to be synonyms.

Moreover, is it correct to say udu egwu or idudu egwu or are both correct? I mean the traditional musical instrument.

Growing up, I have been aware of 'udu' for 'drum' in Igbo. However, I realize that there may be dialectical variations referring to it as 'idudu' equally. However, I cannot confirm this at this time.

Being used to 'udu', 'udu egwu' is correct, which means the 'dance drum'.
