Yoruba is so fascinating

I wonder what the Yoruba elders were on back in the day😂.
With words like:
Ìkànnì Ayélujára - Website
Abàmì - A strange occurrence
Ìwọ̀ntún-wọ̀nsì - Balance
Òfurufú - Sky
Ìbálòpọ̀ - Sexual intercourse
Àwùjẹ̀ - Fontanelle
Atàpátadìde - Someone who made it from a poor background
Adàgbà jẹ́ raufu - A slang for a fool
Jẹ̀dí Jẹ̀dí - Pile
Àjàkálẹ̀ aarun - An epidemic disease
Àkàndá ènìyàn - A special/unique person
They tend to avoid being too explicit, so they soften certain words, for example, referring to private parts with indirect terms like “Nkan ọmọkunrin” or “Ojú ara” instead of saying them outright.
How did you come up with ‘Arara’ for dwarf or Non-chalant as ‘Àìbìkítà’ 🤣
How can we use three different words to express the same idea like “Effort” — làálàá, akitiyan, and ìgbìyànjú.
The language is really fascinating.

“Yoruba is a very difficult language, I wouldn’t recommend it for my fav scholar. Hausa is looser than Yoruba, and Igbo is a little bit more torturous than Yoruba but nothing compares to the musicality of Yoruba, Yoruba sings. Some people are just tone d£af” - Prof Woke Soyinka

@Samad_wurld having one spellings & words to express different things with different meaning like Igbá(Calabash) Igba(200), Ìgbà(Time), Ìgbá(Garden Egg) and so on is even more fascinating
