femi4: Really, I thought the name of the river is Ogun. The river is common noun of all rivers. I think you can isolate the "Ogun" as the name of the river and establish that "Ogun" is the name of the river that passes through Ogun state. |

Oogun (sweat) and not Ogun as you claimed. same as 'O gun ' (climb) and not Ogun as you claimed. Good work though. |
Re: Ogun: The Only Yoruba Word, With 10 Meanings by damysamy12(m): 5:04pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
ogun > sweat ( not agree with that as a Yoruba guy.) |
Re: Ogun: The Only Yoruba Word, With 10 Meanings by opportunities12: 5:07pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
acounter2: Not totally in agreement with some of the words here for example Sweat in the true Yoruba translation is "Oògùn" So also Climb "gun". In a situation where you refer to Ogun as climb, that means it's no longer a single word but two words which should be written separately as "O gun" which means the "O" which is a pronoun for either he/she "gun" MEANING : HE/SHE CLIMBS, HE/SHE CLIMBED Actually a few of the words there are not single word but double like O gun = he climbed, O gun = he stabbed, O gun = it's long |

delishpot: You are adding another dimension to the subject, which is Ogun and it forms common factor in the context being analysed... Yes, when u add ami into each of the Ogun, then u have different meanings to them which had been highlighted through different meanings of Ogun we have... |

Smiles.... You are wrong when it's comes to the real pronounciation of the different meaning and this is due to the sign most of them carries including addition and subtraction of O' and U.... |
