"ʊ́-ɓã́" meaning in All languages combined

See ʊ́-ɓã́ on Wiktionary

Noun [Proto-Yoruboid]

IPA: /ʊ́.ɓã́/
Etymology: Possibly an innovation by Proto-Yoruboid speakers, since no languages have similar cognates, except possibly Edo áranmwẹn. Its descendant languages converted /ɓ/ first to /ɣ/ or /w/, and in Standard Yoruba, the /w/ converted to /h/, a phenomenon seen in many other words descended from Proto-Yoruboid. The root *ɓã́ may refer to an obsolete term referring to speech or language. Etymology templates: {{cog|bin|áranmwẹn}} Edo áranmwẹn Head templates: {{head|alv-yrd-pro|noun|head=*ʊ́-ɓã́}} *ʊ́-ɓã́
