The word you are looking for is "ọta". In Yoruba that is.

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, do you mean "ota" as it sounded like in sango ota? or ota as in bullet? obviously it can't be ota as in enemy? I was thinking it could be "ASHE". as in AMEN. Very big Thankyou bro. i want to start comprehensive Nigerian language, that would wake its scienctific part and technology. this way we won't have no illitrate. this is my take.

It is not the same, indeed. Enemy is "ọ̀tá" (low-high tone), while atom is "ọta"(mid-mid tone) same as in bullet.

This is a very nice effort by you. I wish you luck!

Ota! one would believe the white or caucasian came to us before we could learn, When in reality we have had infinite knowledge. Ota as you said is not really an atom but the begin of an atom. Atom was the first thing that appeared in the triple darkness of space/universe. If it is Ota as same a bullet, that means "spark". thankyou brother, i will stick to ota. ota is either an atom as you have said or spark/explosion.

Yoruba has plenty of concepts that fits scientific terms. Ota is especially interesting. Ìsù-ota translates to element. Elements themselves are parts of a construction, but are built by smaller parts. These parts are ota - basically the smallest part of something, which is a very accurate translation of atom, though the concept of ota is not found in English.

I'll render those sentences to you in sexy and easily-pronounceable Onitsha Igbo dialect.

1) How was your night? - I larukwa ofuma?
2) I love you - M fulu gi n'anya.
3) I love your dress - Efe gi asogbugo m.
4) You look good today - I maka taa.
5) I have been busy all day - Kemgbe ututu ka m ji ife n'aka.

Hi, how would you translate the Igbo names Ohuakanwa and Agoha? Thanks

edited

Ohuakanwa means 'a slave isn't greater than a child [of a freeborn]'.
Agoha = Aguoha? The only meaning I can think of for Agoha is 'if the people are blessed'/'the people have been blessed".

God bless u, I can easily relate to dz. Easy to pronounce too

Pls render me the meaning of these words
1. Otua
2. Ginika
3. Eluwa
4. Imiri
5. Omiri

Thank you, bigfrancis.... Yes, it is Agoha without a u

Are there any more translations/opinions for the names ?

5. Omiri

1) Otu a or Etu a- like this.
2) Gini ka - what is greater. For example, gini ka nwa? What is greater than a child?
3) Eluwa - Elu (on top), uwa (world) = on top of the world.
4) Imiri? You mean mmiri? Mmiri means 'water'.
5) Omiri isn't any noun I can think of Igbo except as a subject and verb = o miri (he/she sucked).

Any more opinions/translations? Thanks

It would also generally interest me how Igbos' surnames came into existence/how they got their names;

and more specifically in the case of Ohuakanwa

You'll need to understand is in the past, Igbos gave certain names based on prevailing circumstances at the time of the child's birth. Names like Obianuju (one who comes when there's plenty) was given to a child born when the family became wealthy, especially if they had been poor before, Nweke/Nwoye/Nwafor/Nwankwo given to a male child born on Eke/Oye/Afor/Nkwo day etc. Ohuakanwa would be, most likely, a name originating during the times of slavery, given to a child to symbolize that the child (most likely a male child) is greater than all male slaves owned by the man of the house. Igbos practised a different form of slavery in times of yore, quite very much different from the trans-atlantic slave trade in that slaves were not maltreated physically nor bound in chains to work under the most severe of situations but were rather treated like an extended member of the family. In addition, slave status in Igboland, unlike 'osu' wasn't perpetual in that after some time, slaves (male and female slaves) could choose to be absorbed into the paternal line of the head of the household, adopting the name of the household name and escaping slavery. A possible prevailing circumstance that best captures the name, Ohuakanwa, would be a head of a household owning many slaves, several wives, daughters but no son. Given the short-term status of slaves and the possibility of slaves (males especially) absorbing into the household in the future and owning certain rights in the family, the head of the household would find himself under pressure to bear a male progeny of his own blood to inherit his possessions before an absorbed male slave would. The name, Ohuakanwa, thus befits a male child born during such a time to signify his higher status in the family and also in the society at large, than a male slave owned by the boy's father who could turn out to be a likely successor to the household head's properties.
