Tpia, please how do you share some of these songs with me.

share as in?

I don't get what you mean, sorry.

Sometimes the night was beautiful
Sometimes the sky was so far away
Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close
You could touch it but your heart would break

Sometimes the morning came too soon
Sometimes the day could be so hot
There was so much work left to do
But so much You'd already done

Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways

And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

Sometimes I think of Abraham
How one star he saw had been lit for me
He was a stranger in this land
And I am that, no less than he
And on this road to righteousness
Sometimes the climb can be so steep
I may falter in my steps
But never beyond Your reach

Its lyk ur beautiful catholic daughter comin to tell u she wants to marry an imam

why are you mentioning "beauty"?


besides, if its a question of beauty, the imam probably has access to the top contenders in that department, so just state your point without additional drama.

everybody is important, but you know what you omitted.

PhysicsQED:
If "Edoid dialects" were a factor, I don't see how there wouldn't be a conflict with the fact that "sa" as you defined it in Yoruba conflicts with the meanings of "sa" in the actual "Edoid dialect" in question (Bini/Edo). Perhaps you could explain what you think an n being added to sa would mean.

I don't see "Esan" as a Yoruboid place name really (well, I mean that I don't see it as exclusively Yoruboid, since it seems to have its own meaning in Yoruba) in this case. Since the (Edoid) group some of their traditions claim gave them the name could clearly use a phrase that actually has "E san" directly in the phrase, it seems the name is more likely Edoid here.

Esan means revenge in Yoruba.

E sa means you ran. Sa is to run.

The interpretation of Esan as E san fi a or Esan fua, implies the same thing as the Yoruba E sa fun wa.

Differences in dialectal languages might move the n to the last phoneme although why the f was removed might also be explained by the same perhaps.

E sa in Yoruba would also imply past tense, meaning you ran, as opposed to e nsa or en sa which would mean you are running or you have been running.

How do you pronounce sa and san in Bini?

If san means run and sa means something else, then I see your point.

You're welcome.

Yes, the current etymology is most likely correct, I'm just explaining the exact meaning of the phrase itself, which is from Yoruba.

Its possible Yoruba was more widely spoken in Benin at the time the name Esan was applied to them, going by the meaning of the words.

What are Esan people called in Bini language or tradition?

Fia in Yoruba means quick or quickly. ( eg O sa fia or o sa fiam).

Fu a/fun wa/fun a means with us, for us or because of us.

When fun a follows a verb such as we see in E sa fun a, then it means you ran from us, in this instance. In addition, the "you" is plural, referring to a lot of people.

The dialectal importance of n as per placement, would be the Edoid dialects, not Yoruba ones.


If you have another meaning for Esan which doesn't reflect Yoruba, then you can share it.

However, point to note is having Yoruboid place names doesn't automatically mean people are Yoruba, it just means the place names are. It may show Yoruba contact however.

Hm

What's with the shoes?

Did she wear a shirt with his name on it just like he wore a shirt with her name on it?


Never heard of them btw.

PhysicsQED:
I believe the idea that the name "Esan" derives from a Bini phrase about them leaving Benin comes from the work of the Esan scholar C.G. Okojie on Esan traditions.

Do you think "E sa fun wa" is actually closer to "Esan" than "E san fia" which literally has "E san" right there in the sentence? I would take "E san fia" as "they jumped loose" if I were looking for its literal meaning. What does "E sa fun wa" mean and why do you think Yoruba was spoken in "Bini" at the time?

Seems the phrase is either E san fua or Esan fia.


Either way, the meaning is the same as E sa fua, E sa fun wa, E sa fun a in Yoruba which means you fled from us, they fled from us, you ran from us, you fled from us, etc.

Esan by itself (depending on pronounciation) would mean you/they ran in Yoruba.

The additional n could be a dialectal difference.

what happened in Togo?

Ghanaians are enjoying.

The private universities in Nigeria might have similar structures, newer and all that.
