    2. “Igbo/Ugbo”

    It means 鈥淔ather鈥 in both Yoruba and Edo.

    It means 鈥淜ing鈥 in Yoruba and it also means the same thing in Edo.

    5. “Iye/Yeye”

    The Yoruba might use 鈥淵eye鈥 more but the words mean the same thing in Yoruba and Edo; 鈥淢other鈥.

    6. “Unu/Enu”

    Some Yoruba dialects switch the 鈥渦鈥 for the 鈥渆鈥 in 鈥渆nu鈥, so it鈥檚 the same thing with Edo and it means, 鈥淢outh鈥.

    7. “Ogede/Oghede”

    Apart from the slight different spellings, these words are pronouncd the same and mean the same; 鈥淧lantain/Banana鈥.

    8. “Ibata/Bata”

    If you can unlook the other 鈥榠鈥, this word is really the same thing in both Yoruba and Edo and it means, 鈥淪hoe鈥.
