@youngies/ others If you can lay hands on Onwu Committees Report of 1981 on "Igbo Izugbe", I think we'll all get cleared. Now youngies to what you posted, I think Igbo Izugbe's skeleton is more like Imo State Igbo than any other Igbo state. Note the word "skeleton". That means many other words are borrowed from other dialects to make up for lack of some words. I'm searching for that report of 1981 to be cleared. Daalu nu |

Echelon daalu so I have heard of that Onwu Report but have not been lucky to lay my hands on it. I guess it will make a good read. Ify and Igwe_USA, it won't be a bad idea if you try and read it too  Ogazi amaka, ma ejighi ya ago mmuo The gunea fowl is pretty though, but it is not used for rituals and sacrifices |

Nedi Igbo Ibem Orula n' omume Igbo turu ilu si Agbisi gba otula ya amuru ako. The butos learns a lesson when beaten by the ant. Onye Pkara nku ahuhu si Ngwere bia ya ugwo. He who fetch firewood of ant invites lizard to parade his house. Okirikiri ka ana agaba ukwu ose adigh ari ya elu. You only go round the pepper tree you can never climb it. Ijiji nti ike na eso osu ala nmo. A stubborn fly follow the corpse to grave. ume ji anaghi egbu obi. The liver does not kill the heart. Ana eji ehihe acho ewu oji tupu chi ejie. You search for the black goat while its day before the night comes. Uzo ma nma aga ya nga abua. You visit a good road two times. |

Aju aju eri na ebute aria aria anwu. If You eat without asking question you also die without sickness. Nwa okuko erughi eru akpo choro choro egbe ga ebu ya ufu eburu ya. A chicken that start crying while it is not time, if the falcon did not capture it the hawk will. |
