Osuka is a yoruba term for a piece of cloth or anything (usually folded) used to support ones head before carrying water or heavy object on the head. Wondering if there is english term for it. 1 Like |

This is a long time thread, but the no answer...actually any character that doesn't have a root in English won't have a direct local name...same goes for "eku Ile"...so...osuka will have name which just described it...head pad...better still let's ask wole soyinka. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Hmmn, Honestly, I have no idea. Not all part of one language are necessarily translatable into another one, because all language have some pieces of cultural uniqueness that can be found among that region or culture alone. There are some Yoruba or Ebira words that have no English equivalent. Eku’Ile in Yoruba for instance has no English translation. Also- moi-moi and Amala have no English for example. Etc 3 Likes |
