owun
Ede Idaca
editEtymology
editOlder form for the term salt only found in Eastern Yoruba dialects. See Igala ómu, Ifè oŋu, proposed to be derived from Proto-Yoruboid *ó-ɓũ. The form likely referred to an indigenous salt, perhaps related to rock salt or halite, which was later replaced by salt imported from the North. The existence of this term in Ede Idaca suggests that it existed in Proto-Yoruba and not just Proto-Edekiri, and also may suggest that the Ede group of languages (including Ede Ife and Idaca) split before the Northwest and Central Yoruba dialects split.
