Notes and Questions
Please sign in to write a note for this page
Help needed with description as knowledge of Yoruba non-existent. Tried Google but second word
of translation did not match inscription
Suru Logun Aiye as printed in the image on the previous page.
Could the other mystery word again be shape if you look at the similarity with the previous occurrence? Just a thought. Otherwise wait for sek to provide the answer! There again it could be slab.
Or slate?
I like that
Think its 'slate' - seen example elsewhere
Go with slate and make the other correction as in my note above.
Sorted.
Suru Logun Aiye looks like it still needs sorting unless my computer is lagging
Yes it's me. Fine now.
