Very enlightening when you add history and culture in your Yoruba lessons. Africans in the Americas have brought the wicker weaving skills with them. Including the symbolism in the male/female relationships are recognizable in African American communities.

Thanks for another enlightening lecture. Is your preference to say "chief" or "oloye"? There's an ongoing discussion about dropping the use of certain borrowed (especially enforced/potentially derogatory) words used to refer to concepts in our heritage. Just wondering what your thoughts are on this and similar words.

[@yorubalessons]

"Olóyè" is definitely more accurate, especially when addressing someone with that title. I used the word "chiefs" loosely to buttress a description and didn't give it any conscious thought while speaking. Thank you for the call-out. I agree with you ongoing conversation completely, and I expressed the same sentiments in my "'Ọba' Is Not 'King' or 'Queen'" video [kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKPcpZuhnMZ7apY] over two years ago. I've actively expressed similar thoughts through other forms for almost a decade now.

[@tkspiece2310]

@yorubalessons Thanks very much for the clarification. Yes I have seen your videos on Oba v King, Baba v father. Your depth of knowledge is incredible! I don't believe this is how Yoruba is taught in Nigeria. Wherever you got your knowledge from, I hope we can continue to replicate it. Otherwise, we will lose it. It was from you that I learnt Adura, Alubosa etc aren't Yoruba words.

Pansuku is connected to Sukkot and sukkah. We the chosen people built and lived in when we where traveling from jibiti Egypt into sub Saharan Africa the real promised land (note we are NOT Egyptians our people where enslaved there for a time). A lot of what you talk about originates from our ancient culture laws and practices as the chosen people of the creator. What is called the Bible the Torah and the koran where all taken from our ancient history that is why we still practice a lot of the so called Old Testament laws it was our story to start with the Europeans plagiarized it the so called peleo Hebrew is an amalgamation of Yoruba and other sub Saharan African languages. I appreciate your channel,. Blessings

Random thought but does pangolo have a similar root/ etymology seeing as it is also a container?

[@yorubalessons]

Yes, there's a connection. "Páń" seems like a contraction of words, and I don't know if it establishes "container," per se, but as soon as I conclude on my theory, I'll re-address it.
