Each of these pages lists a word as built from it, spelled a little differently from this one — a different tone mark, or an underdot this word doesn't have.
Tone and underdots are what tell two Yorùbá words apart, so we can't say whether the other page meant this word and mistyped it, or meant a word that has no page here yet.
Writing that word up on Wiktionary settles it. How to help.

“ogún” lists “ológún” as a word built from it. No word here is spelled that way, so this page was matched to it by ignoring tone marks. It may be a misspelling, or “ológún” may be a word nobody has written up yet.
