Usage notes
edit- According to the Standard Yoruba Orthography approved by the Joint Consultative Committee on Education in June 1974, to show the lengthening of a nasal vowel and not a syllabic nasal, a hyphen should be inserted: ẹẹ́sàn-án and not ẹẹ́sànán. Nonetheless, the latter, in addition to ẹẹ́sàn, is still used.
