Yoruba for "home". I don't see this word in my dictionaries, nor with this meaning on Google Books. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:57, 10 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Its an adjective .... maybe there is an inflectional morpheme missing. Or maybe the inflection is there and the word for "home" as a noun is shorter. I know little about this language .... just throwing out ideas .... figuring that it is unlikely that its totally fictitious. Soap 17:49, 13 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
If you don't have anything useful to add, please consider not saying anything. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 17:59, 13 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
I apologize. I may be subconsciously importing habits from social media where it's OK to make comments with no helpful information just to call attention to a post. This post had been up for a few days with no reply so I thought maybe I would "upvote" it but I realize 3 days is not a very long time by the stanrdards for these pages. Now, in my defense, you gave me this same message a few months ago for a comment that I still stand by and believe was helpful, but I find myself apologizing for talkign too much elsewhere too so I know I need to limit what i say. I hear you and understand. In fact, in some cases I think people are are too patient with me. But I've babbled enough. Thanks, Soap 13:25, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Wordhippo.com[1] is a plausible source of this error. It translates residence as ile gbigbe. It looks like ilé is the real word for house if you reduce it to one word, not gbigbe. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 20:30, 13 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
