Osuka is a yoruba term for a piece of cloth or anything (usually folded) used to support ones head before carrying water or heavy object on the head.

Wondering if there is english term for it.

Headgear the Gear is pronounced Girl as in how u pronounce Girl's G not the pronunciation of jeer....

Thanks for the response. Head gear is "gele" not osuka.

Osuka is called accostomed ease in English language.

Hmmn, Honestly, I have no idea.
Not all part of one language are necessarily translatable into another one, because all language have some pieces of cultural uniqueness that can be found among that region or culture alone.

There are some Yoruba or Ebira words that have no English equivalent.
Eku’Ile in Yoruba for instance has no English translation.

Also- moi-moi and Amala have no English for example.
Etc

The actual English term for it is
