Ọtụtụ n'ime akụkọ ya na-adabere na ndabere mara mma nke Ọdọ Mmiri Victoria na ọdịnala nke ndị Luo. Otu isiokwu nke pụtara ìhè n'ime ọrụ Ogot bụ mkpa ọdịnala ọdịnala Luo, akụkọ ifo, na ọdịnala ọnụ.   bụ isi na "The Rain Came", akụkọ nke nne nne ya kọrọ banyere Ogot na ntorobịa ya, ebe a ga-achụ nwa nwanyị onye isi n'àjà iji weta mmiri ozuzo.
