Ògòrì (NEY)
=== Etymology ===
From Proto-Yoruboid *ò-ɣòlì, across Volta-Niger, the term has not changed from what could be its original form where, making it potentially possible to reconstruct the root all the way to Proto-Volta-Niger, (see Proto-Volta-Niger *-ɣòlì or Proto-Volta-Niger *-gòlì). Cognate with Igala Ògòlì, Itsekiri Òɣòlì, Edo Òɣòì, Urhobo Òɣòrì, Igbo Ògori (Nsuka), Igbo Òyori (Nri), Nupe Gòrì, Gun Wolì.
