We are not certain about these, for one of two reasons.
Wiktionary says some of them were built from a word spelled like this one, without saying which meaning, so we show each under every meaning it could have come from.
The rest are spelled a little differently from anything here — a tone mark or an underdot apart — so we cannot tell a misspelling of this word from a word that has no page yet.
Both are fixable on Wiktionary, one word at a time. How to help.
These words list this one in their own definitions. This word does not list them back, so Wiktionary records the link in one direction only.
The meaning shown next to each is the one that named this word.
These are words in other languages that came from this Yorùbá word, mostly through trade, the Atlantic slave trade, and contact with neighbouring languages.
They are not translations. A word here means what it means in its own language, which may have drifted a long way from the Yorùbá it started as.
