Yoruba
Etymology
Cognate with Edo ùghà, Itsekiri ùghà, probably ultimately from Proto-Edekiri *ʊ̀-ɣà, but also possibly an Edo loan word. Also see Proto-Yoruba *ʊ̀-ɣà. The palace of the Oba of Lagos is known as ìgà, which may suggest this term is likely an Edo term, perhaps borrowed into Proto-Edekiri or a later stage of Yoruba.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ì.ɡà/
Noun
ìgà
- a courtyard, particularly one of a palace or royal compound.
- Wọ́n ń bẹ ní ìgà
- They are in the compound
