Well,you seem forgetful .

rhekor had once claimed father in Yoruba is not abà which all English dictionary claims it is an Hebrew-Aramaic word for father which is shared with Yorubas. This is the reason I drew his attention to ondo's Ekimogun's obà's granted interview, where he spoke about the kingdom's history and he mentioned the word "abà"

Reality is that both ancient Hebrew speakers and Aramaic's are not known . World's Scholar aptly called the language "Isolate language". Fact #Fact# Fact#.

I can not remember ever claiming that Àbá is not father, in fact that is from some dialect in Yorùbá land, if everyone should be using dialects to write Yorùbá words nobody would be able to understand what those not from their clan or subtribe writes. This is the reason for a standardised mode of writing. Your major problem is that you don't know the difference between language and dialect (èdè àdúgbò), If you do you wouldn't be writing nonsense all over nairaland
Ẹ̀bá = father in some eastern Yorùbá dialect
But in general Ẹ̀bá means by the side or beside
You can see that you are making no sense of you keep writing in dialect only your own tribesmen will understand your jargons

Baba/bàbá in Yorùbá means fahther anything outside these is/are from dialects which not all Yorùbá speakers would understand except those who either speak such dialect or have idea of what those who speaks it are saying


Olu, once again go and learn about how to write the Yorùbá language correctly

Where does Ake comes from in Ileife ? English language is a bit on the swarvy side to you ?

Are you more correct than Yorúbàá dictionary? It says ọ̀rọ and not ọ̀rọ̀. Professor, I hail thee

Now I see where your problem comes from, like I warned you the other time when you lied on me and I called you out.
You read things in books and fail to understand the limitations of the writers

I'm sure if you have access to different Yorùbá write ups you'll see the same

error in writing. You don't seem to have any understanding on how to write Yorùbá language correctly

This your silly dictionary that you snap here has said nothing about how to use diacritics. You only use it to lay strengthen your ignorance.

The writer has a limittion on typing out the correct details but your gullibility won't see it, this is the reason you've always misappropriate words on nairaland while claiming erudite
Go and read the Yorùbá Bible and see tones of mistakes on how they used diacritics same words would be written with different diacritics, the problem is the limitations of the publishers you can not just lay claim on just any books to streghten your folly.
Chech out the Yorùbá Bible in the screenshot below

Ẹ gbé orí yín sókè (this is the correct way to write it but because of the limitations of the publishers they only chose certain words or letters that they add diacritics but an ignoramus like you would take that as an authorised method of writing)

Is this one mad or what? How does this nonsense absolve you of the rubbish you've been writing with the use of baseless diacritics? Your case is seriously pathetic. I have given you a simple assignment go and ask questions from your so-called professors who you have claimed several times here on nairaland that they accepted your stupid books ask them on how to use diacritics properly, you won't die if you seek for help

Not oversight but a rejoinder to the past discuss on the word for "father" in Yoruba language.

This thread is about Yoruba and Hebrew,which it is not out of context,if we agree that Yoruba related matter can be in forefront of juxtaposition.

The meaning of Eleyoro does not suffice at all in correcting your friend about his use of diacritics, maybe you don't know what diacritics are, it is "àmì ohùn"

If it gives you peace and joy that I don't know what diacritics are as a Yoruba man writing Yoruba from childhood, please, enjoy the moment. As long as you know better, the world is saved.

Your friends have right to request for diacritics because it's the Apex phenomenon in Yoruba history, I don't have the right to ask them for eleyoro because it doesn't "correct" my friend enough.

Once you get the diacritics wrong you will get the words wrong and consequently not understand what the writer is trying to pass across. The Yorùbá language is a tonal language and as such it is written with diacritics to make sure that your readers won't be missing the right pronunciation. Yorùbá is not the only language with diacritics, French, Arabic etc has diacritics.

Point of correction though, it's not the fault of a reader when a writer make mistake on his spellings, let him correct himself, if that is done, nobody needs to weep and morn over this.

But, what kind of hordes of people mock the sensibilities of a writer who can communicate his intentions effectively for diacritics?

It can only be hordes who has nothing of substance to hold on to to appease their "sense of entitlement" that's greater than doing the job at hand.

With nothing to offer their audience for the attention they thought they deserve, anything that can hurt the ego of the researcher would be their focus, being an alternative way of claiming "professional".

That's not doing the job but hurting anyone you don't like. Indeed, you can't give what you don't have and when the desirable is not available, the available becomes desirable.

Please tell your friend, Olu317 to learn the use of diacritics, it is very important because if you get the wrong diacritics you destroy the meaning of words.
For example
Ìgbà = time
Igbá = calabash
Igba = 200

Ifọ́n = a town
Ifọ̀n = a type of skin disease


Èwe = childhood
Ewé = leaf

There's no need for your campaign of calumny, here's a man that is well exposed and thorough in his research and numbers of books and materials at his disposal on the subject, well attested by his contributions.

If diacritics is the most important thing you are looking for in Yoruba history, leave Olu alone, get the contributions of macof and Tao11 and you will be glad you had what you want. If you don't like his formatting, format for him.

You can see from these few words that when one write the diacritics is very important to make sure that your reader are not lost to what you mean

Although, sometimes the context could be of help but one wouldn't need to search for context if the diacritics are right. In fact, the diacritics could help you to understand the context

Oró is wild pumpkin, also known as Oro alagogo, I think the name applied because of the bell shape of the fruit. You can get Oro alagogo from elewe omo.

On the other hand, oro, (dodo) is the spoken word. You can only use the option you gave in a progressive conversation, "ema bami sòro gota (guarter) doti jo."

I can not place where your statement is coming from! Seriously, I am a bit confuse. Anyway, I did not posit ọrọ̀ as word which,means wealthy. While I emphasise on ọ̀rọ as word,or converse etc.

I know pumpkin as elégede, though there synonymous names for things in Yoruba language as done also elsewhere.

The fact, is that every diacritics signs used in Yoruba came through Roman-Latin to affix the mindset of the reader so as to be able to have the idea of the probable pronounciation, so I do not fancy the usage of musical tone alone to know how the pattern flow in the order of mi-high tone,re-mid tone and do-low tone(mi-re-do)

So, let us not footdrag the accurate form of writing yoruba language because there is no such as superior Yoruba dialect.

Igbà meta nigba Eda laye o,
kalesanwa j'owuro lo bsba rere.

Ebenezer Obey.

Ìgbà, time, dodo.\\

Ìgbá, ikan, (garden egg) Domi, \/ redo,-\
Ìgbá, domi, ikan, redo.

That dictionary you posted up there is completely faculty, every entry on it is wrong based on diacritic, but right as spellings.

Please take note.

If you say so but clarify the sound on these two,
"igbá or ìgbá-calabash and ìgbá - garden egg" as you had posited , because both do not sound as homophone to me.
However, I flow with the accents that point to ìgbáà (fall-rise-fall) as garden egg. Alternatively "ìgbáà",which differs from "igba"(200). Take a look at these syllable, i gb a (aa)- the gbá is to sweep,gbà to recieve. Moreso, ABIDI comes to mind.

The dictionary I use is not outdated one. Not at all. Beside, it has been revised even up till 2010 and beyond, which is the most used Yoruba dictionary. The organisation which produced remains intact.

The meaning of Eleyoro does not suffice at all in correcting your friend about his use of diacritics, maybe you don't know what diacritics are, it is "àmì ohùn"
Once you get the diacritics wrong you will get the words wrong and consequently not understand what the writer is trying to pass across. The Yorùbá language is a tonal language and as such it is written with diacritics to make sure that your readers won't be missing the right pronunciation. Yorùbá is not the only language with diacritics, French, Arabic etc has diacritics. Please tell your friend, Olu317 to learn the use of diacritics, it is very important because if you get the wrong diacritics you destroy the meaning of words.
For example
Ìgbà = time
Igbá = calabash
Igba = 200

Ifọ́n = a town
Ifọ̀n = a type of skin disease


Èwe = childhood
Ewé = leaf

You can see from these few words that when one write the diacritics is very important to make sure that your reader are not lost to what you mean

Although, sometimes the context could be of help but one wouldn't need to search for context if the diacritics are right. In fact, the diacritics could help you to understand the context

Mr. àmì ohùn, see as you blundered again. Káarè . Rather, it is àmi ohùn which mean sign etc. Teacher teaching abracadabra.....

Àmì is not àmi

Àmì = Mark, sign etc
Àmi? I don't know what this means as it does not sound intelligible to any Yorùbá speaker, anywhere
You keep bursting yourself
Àmì = do-do (low-low tone)
Àmi = do-re (lọ-mid tone)
Guy go and show this to any Yorùbá teacher and come here to tell us what they say to you
