# ọgẹdẹ
## Itsekiri
### Etymology

Cognates include Yoruba ọ̀gẹ̀dẹ̀, Eastern Àkókó Yoruba ẹ̀gẹ̀dẹ̀, Edo ọ̀ghẹ̀dẹ̀, Igbo ògèdè, Igbo ọ̀gèdè. This may be reconstructed to Proto-Yoruboid if such a term existed for an older food crop not bananas. Bananas reached West Africa centuries after the Proto-Yoruboid language had dispersed, but may have come in contact with Proto-Southeast Yoruba-Itsekiri speakers. Thus, it is unclear if this term was borrowed and then transversed the many people groups as they traded and came into contact with the banana.

### Pronunciation

* IPA: /ɔ̀.ɡɛ̀.dɛ̀/

### Noun

ọ̀gẹ̀dẹ̀
* banana

#### Derived terms

* ọ̀gẹ̀dẹ̀ òyìbó (“banana”)

| Note: This amalgamation of terms comes from a number of different academic papers focused on the unique varieties and languages spoken in the Yoruboid dialectal continuum which extends from eastern Togo to southern Nigeria. The terms for spoken varieties, now deemed dialects of Yorùbá in Nigeria (i.e. Southeast Yorùbá, Northwest Yorùbá, Central Yorùbá, and Northeast Yorùbá), have converged with those of Standard Yorùbá leading to the creation of what can be labeled Common Yorùbá (Funṣọ Akere, 1977). It can be assumed that the Standard Yorùbá term can also be used in most Nigerian varieties alongside native terms, especially amongst younger speakers. This does not apply to the other Nigerian Yoruboid languages of Ìṣẹkírì and Olùkùmi, nor the Èdè Languages of Benin and Togo. ||||||
