ọgụnrụn

== Yoruba == === Alternative forms === ụ̀gụ̀nrụ̀n, ụ̀gọ̀nrọ̀n === Etymology === A semantic shift likely occurred from the human organ known as the neck to simply only neck-like body parts. Compare with Itsekiri ugunrọn, Ifè ɔ̀gɔ̃̀rɔ̃̀, Owe Yoruba igọ̀nrùn. Proposed to be derived from Proto-Yoruba *ɔ̀-gʊ̃̀ɾʊ̃̀, *ʊ̀-gʊ̃̀ɾʊ̃̀. While it can only be reliably reconstructed to Proto-Edekiri *ɔ̀-gʊ̃̀ɾʊ̃̀, it is descended from Volta-Congo roots for neck, compare with Proto-Kwa *kɔŋgɔ, Proto-Benue-Congo *ton, Proto-Bantu *kíngó, Proto-Gbe *-kɔ, ultimately from Proto-Volta-Congo *ˈkɔtĩ === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ɔ̀.ɡʊ̃̀.ɾʊ̃̀/ === Noun === ọ̀gụ̀nrụ̀n (Ekiti) neck; joint of a body part Synonyms: ọrùn, ọrụ̀n joint of a body part Synonym: ọrùn ==== Related terms ==== ọ̀gụ̀nrụ̀nká (“shoulder”) ọ̀gụ̀nrụ̀n-ọọ́ (“wrist”) ọ̀gụ̀nrụ̀n-ọsẹ̀ (“ankle”)
