Etymology: Most Yoruba languages use this form or a form similar to this with the addition of a vowel prefix, see descendants below. The form usually maintains a mid-tone, but many forms also have a high-tone and low-tone form, *-yé, *-yè, and may derive roots referring to laying eggs or giving birth. See other roots for mother including Proto-Yoruboid *-nà or Proto-Yoruboid *-mɔ̃̀. For cognates outside of Yoruboid, see Edo iye, The form ìyá found in Yoruba does not seem to be related to this term, and only resembles Ibibio iya Etymology templates: {{cog|alv-yrd-pro|*-nà}} Proto-Yoruboid *-nà, {{cog|alv-yrd-pro|*-mɔ̃̀}} Proto-Yoruboid *-mɔ̃̀, {{cog|bin|iye}} Edo iye, {{cog|ibb|iya}} Ibibio iya Head templates: {{head|alv-yrd-pro|noun|head=*-ye}} *-ye, {{head|alv-yrd-pro|noun|head=*-yé}} *-yé

The form usually maintains a mid-tone, but many forms also have a high-tone and low-tone form, *-yé, *-yè, and may derive roots referring to laying eggs or giving birth.\nSee other roots for mother including Proto-Yoruboid *-nà or Proto-Yoruboid *-mɔ̃̀. For cognates outside of Yoruboid, see Edo iye,\nThe form ìyá found in Yoruba does not seem to be related to this term, and only resembles Ibibio iya",
