acounter2: You should have put the intonation marks, and then you will know they are different words. You've basically just written the same word, pronounced same way and having same meaning up there. You can read this short write up on this link for better understanding https://www.ucl.ac.uk/atlas/yoruba/pronunciation.html 4 Likes |

Patriot9: don't mind the OP. he doesn't understand something and he was corrected.but he starts to dey insult people. the words he gave meanings to are wrong.. only few are right... O gun mean he/she stabs.. and it's two syllables which is like a sentence with a verb and pronoun unlike he opined ..secondly... ami ohun which gives final meaning to every Yoruba word separates this word from mere conjectures. do(\) re (_) and mi(/) are placed on vowels in Yoruba words to give it's stressed and final meaning... 2 Likes |

femi4: Your contrary observation is noted and well received sir. However take out the "sweat", "climb" and "stab". Add the "river", you will still have nine (9) interpretations of same word. That is still amazing. 3 Likes |

acounter2: Those are the only two words with the same pronunciation, the rest have tonal differences. Besides, in English Language, we have Bank (financial institutions, side of a river), Address (speak to, location) . They are called homonyms. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
