All the same, those name were given before the splitting of land from one another (tectonic plate), so at one time in the past, kiniun ws tiger found not far from this continent. gidiMonsta: |

Op, could you kindly explain the meaning of these names and how they were derived. because i know for a fact that the blackman gave name to the animal based on their functions and not on their looks. those functions failed in them because... it is not important yet. |

kriskristyne: there are no tigers native to (west) Africa, so there wouldn't be a native name for them, but soldiers or people who went to Asia for one reason or the other, might have seen tigers and when they got back home, probably described them as ekun. that could account for the misconception. I noticed some nlers believe tigers are found naturally in Africa. 1 Like |

Ishilove: It is spelt "Erinlakatabu" which translates "A big Elephant has fallen". Usage: it is used when an important, a prominent, personality dies. Meaning: Erinlakatabu means a big Elephant falls and unable to get up. I.e when the elephant is so big that when it falls in a certain way, it won't be able to lift itself up without being aided. So in a situation where such an Elephant falls and people around can do nothing to help it up, such an elephant ends up dying. Full Usage: Erinlakatabu ko le dide which means "A huge Elephant has fallen and can't get up". |
