Ikaan: à=wɔ̀r ¹

Abiodun 1999: 325. Dialectal forms: Iyinnọ à=wɔ̀r, Iigau ì=wɔ̀l. Distinct from ì=mí 'stomach' [ibid.]. However, in [Salffner 2009: 83], the word ı̀=mı́ is given in the meaning 'belly'.

Ayegbe: ì=wɔ̀r ¹

Word: big

Ikaan: ò=gómà # ¹

Abiodun 1999: 109. Attested only in Iyinnọ (and Ishẹu); Ikaan and Iigau equivalents are not recorded in the source. Different from the verbal root gba 'to be big' [Salffner 2009: 193]; the same source also lists an additional complex adjectival form dídíbɔ́g [Salffner 2009: 199]. Additional clarification is necessary to establish the dialectal features and semantic nature of all these words.

Ayegbe: ù=tĩ́-tĩ́ ¹
