Daud'a - generic for dirt (not to be confused with the name); Datti derived from the english word; Kazamta - more on the disgusting side, Shara - dirt from sweeping the floor. 2 Likes |

English: PadlockThere are so many similarities between igbo and Yoruba words. hausa is the one that is completely different. It's like similarities between French and English but the connecting nation, Russia, has a totally different lingua. Padlock= igodo(igbo)= Agadagodo(Yoruba) Chicken= Okuko(igbo)= akuko(Yoruba) Stone= okwute(igbo)= okuta(Yoruba). and many more. 2 Likes 1 Share |
