People say headgear but the fact is that in the real sense of it; "osuka" as a character is not recognized by English, it has nothing to do with English tradition. The word headgear refers to anything worn as a protective covering for the head - "NOT (necessarily)" a piece of clothing. |

Lool.........There are many African words that don't have direct translation in English. There are many words in Hausa I can't remember all now, I use to ask what is the direct translation in English. There is something in Hausa they call "Saraba". Saraba is like that bread you bought on the road when you are travelling. So they people you give the bread to, You have given them "Saraba". It is not gift. it is similar to gift. Saraba is that thing your mother buys for you(May be fish or something)when she goes to the market. Saraba is gotten from a different location but not from where the receiver stays. What is Saraba now? |

TheVictorious: Furthermore; it is high time we stopped looking for English names to use for things that have their origin in local tradition. If whites suddenly form a name for Eba now, we will accept and throw away the original name - forgetting that it is our food (and hence the name should be simply adopted and added to English dictionary); just the same way fellow blacks claim that the right way to eat eba according to the whites is with fork and knife! 2 Likes |

Language and culture are inalienable. What you find in a culture are what you would find in its language. The English do not place things on their head. As such, there is no need for the osuka. And as such, osuka does not have an English term. Just like you won't find you won't find the Yoruba meaning of snow. Because snow is alien to us. |

Should be something to the effect of a cushioner...derived from the word cushion which means something providing support or protection against impact. A buffer of sorts between the head and the load. |
