"oli-" meaning in All languages combined

See oli- on Wiktionary

Prefix [Yoruba]

IPA: /ō.lí/ Forms: olí- [canonical]
Etymology: From o- (“nominalizing prefix”) + lí (“to have; to own”). The "o" prefix harmonizes with the initial vowel associated with the noun it precedes. Because /n/ and /l/ are allophonic, both oní- and olí- are essentially the same, and in Standard Yoruba, oní- will often have an /l/ when in compounds. However, in certain dialects, the /n/ and /l/ are not allophonic in this case, /l/ is primarily used like in Egba and Ekiti, while in Ondo or Ijebu, only /n/ is used. Etymology templates: {{af|yo|o-|lí|id1=nominalizing prefix|t1=nominalizing prefix|t2=to have; to own}} o- (“nominalizing prefix”) + lí (“to have; to own”) Head templates: {{head|yo|prefix|head=olí-|head2=}} olí-, {{yo-pos|prefix|olí-}} olí-
  1. Alternative form of oní- (“a prefix (added to nouns to detail ownership or association to the noun)”) Tags: alt-of, alternative, morpheme Alternative form of: oní- (extra: (“a prefix (added to nouns to detail ownership or association to the noun)”)) Synonyms: abi-, oní-
