the word olokun is and Edo word which have it absolute meaning in Edo language in breaking down the meaning of olokun those that live in Benin can attest and deny to the fact that in Benin for example: the owner/seller of bread in bread is called Ole_ bread ( the "e" in ole is there because bread is sometimes called ebredi in Benin so "olo" sound can't come in because the first "e" in ebredi will remove the last "o" in olo to make proper sound of ole_bredi), the seller of fish is called ole_hen because fish is ehen in Benin ( what happened ole_bredi also play out here when pronouncing it). the Olu_khunmwhun in ukhunmwhun is called that because he his the duke of ukhunmwhun ( so the "u"in olu is to make it sound well with ukhunmwhun thereby removing the original "o" sound in "olo" the olo_ kaeben in Benin is called so because it refer to the Eben group ( so the "o" remain because it also start okaeben) now to olokun, in Benin sea is called okun/ okun_amen. mystically or traditionally, it is believe that there is always a give being through which a particular thing exist so the binis believe that the being own/created etc the sea hence that was where the name originate olo= owner/ keeper/ creator/ okun=sea note that the last "o" in olo remain because okun started with "o". learn more on Edo language and how letters are used using this link which is updated weekly https://www.nairaland.com/6295144/learn-benin-language-online I also saw people saying Edo use letters like un, mw, vw, etc so this keep wondering how those listed letters can start a word because am very much aware that those letters can only be found in the middle of a word. I think link will provide you with much information |

Ideadoctor: thanks for the making sense, at least we agree on something the word is an Edo word if it's also a Yoruba word I have no problem with it can we now have a little sense of understanding that all African tribe came in touch one way or the other and as it is now none is superior to the other? 2 Likes |

They got there as a result of the Atlantic slave trade that engulfed the whole of Africa, the slaves were not only Yoruba but other ethnic groups, but Yoruba culture has managed to survive, do you know why? (1) Yoruba culture is superb and dominating,the whites can testify to these, because even some whites has fallen in love with Yoruba culture (2) The Yoruba Slaves were wise and cunning, I have said it a lot of times that yorubas are very wise,instead of losing their religion to catholism as other slaves did, the Yoruba slaves syncretized their gods with the Catholic saints, and here they are today no longer slaves,and they are proud to be called sons and daughters of oduduwa, because they know of the past and present glories of the yorubas,meanwhile it was the yorubas that were selling themselves to Europeans during the wars period, Benin no fit,your fathers sees yorubas as gods unlike you their rebellious children, don't worry we would put you in your place on nairaland and in the real life |
