Etymology
An old Proto-Yoruboid form only maintained in the Ekiti dialect and Igala language, see Igala ọ̀dọ̀, perhaps derived from Proto-Yoruboid *ɔ̀-ɗɔ̀. Some linguists of the Ekiti dialect suggest the r in this word is /ɽ/, differing from the usual /ɾ/
Possibly used in
We are not certain about these, for one of two reasons.
Wiktionary says some of them were built from a word spelled like this one, without saying which meaning, so we show each under every meaning it could have come from.
The rest are spelled a little differently from anything here — a tone mark or an underdot apart — so we cannot tell a misspelling of this word from a word that has no page yet.
Both are fixable on Wiktionary, one word at a time. How to help.
