The "o" prefix harmonizes with the initial vowel associated with the noun it precedes. Since /n/ and /l/ are allophonic in Yoruba, the prefix often changes to an /l/ when in compounds. However, it always remains an /n/ in Southeastern Yoruba dialects, while it always remains an /l/ in Central Yoruba dialects like Ekiti and in the Egba dialect. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ō.nĩ́/ === Prefix === oní- a prefix (added to nouns to detail ownership or association to the noun) Synonym: abi- ‎oni- + ‎ilé (“house”) → ‎onílé (“landlord”) ‎oni- + ‎adé (“crown”) → ‎aládé (“royal, prince”) ‎oni- + ‎ìṣègùn (“medicine”) → ‎oníṣègùn (“doctor”) ‎oni- + ‎ààfin (“palace”) → ‎Aláàfin (“title of a king”) ‎oni- + ‎oyè (“chieftaincy title”) → ‎olóyè (“chief”) ‎oni- + ‎ẹmu (“palm wine”) → ‎ẹlẹ́mu (“palm wine seller”) ‎oni- + ‎ọmọ (“child”) → ‎ọlọ́mọ (“parent”) ‎oni- + ‎edé (“crayfish”) → ‎elédé (“crayfish seller”) ‎oni- + ‎uṣu (“yam”) → ‎onúṣu (“yam seller”) ‎oni- + ‎múrí méjì (“40 naira”) → ‎onímúrí méjì (“that which is worth 40 naira”) ==== Usage notes ==== When the following word begins with a vowel, oní harmonizes: ==== Derived terms ====
