Proper name [Yoruba]

IPA: /ō.ló.ꜜdù.mā.ɾè/ Forms: Olódùmarè [canonical]
Etymology: From oní- + òdùmarè. Many folk etymologies attempt to explain the origin of the term òdùmàrè, but the etymology is ultimately unclear *A chapter from the Odù Ifa (Yoruba religious text), Ọ̀sá Ògúndá, explains that the etymology comes from the phrase oní odù tí ń tan òṣùmàrè, ultimately from oní- (“one who has”) + odù (“pot”) + òṣùmàrè (“rainbow”), literally “The owner of the pot from which the rainbow comes from” *Another folk etymology explains it as ultimately meaning odù (“source of creation, pot”) + mà (“does not”) + rè (“to become exhausted, empty”), literally “The Owner of the Source of Creation that does not get exhausted; The All Sufficient One” * Compare with Òṣùmàrè *Another theory tends to link the term to àrè, referring to stranger or someone who has know background, referring to the mysterious origins associated with Olodumare, thus breaking down to oní- (“one who has”) + òdù (“pot, source”) + mọ̀ (“to know”) + àrè (“stranger, foreigner, one of know background”) Etymology templates: {{af|yo|oní-|òdùmarè}} oní- + òdùmarè, {{l|yo|òdùmàrè}} òdùmàrè, {{l|yo|Odù Ifa}} Odù Ifa, {{l|yo|Ọ̀sá Ògúndá}} Ọ̀sá Ògúndá, {{l|yo|oní}} oní, {{l|yo|odù}} odù, {{l|yo|tan}} tan, {{l|yo|òṣùmàrè}} òṣùmàrè, {{m|yo|oní odù tí ń tan òṣùmàrè}} oní odù tí ń tan òṣùmàrè, {{af|yo|oní-|odù|òṣùmàrè|lit=The owner of the pot from which the rainbow comes from|t1=one who has|t2=pot|t3=rainbow}} oní- (“one who has”) + odù (“pot”) + òṣùmàrè (“rainbow”), literally “The owner of the pot from which the rainbow comes from”, {{compound|yo|odù|mà|rè|lit=The Owner of the Source of Creation that does not get exhausted; The All Sufficient One|t1=source of creation, pot|t2=does not|t3=to become exhausted, empty}} odù (“source of creation, pot”) + mà (“does not”) + rè (“to become exhausted, empty”), literally “The Owner of the Source of Creation that does not get exhausted; The All Sufficient One”, {{m|yo|Òṣùmàrè}} Òṣùmàrè, {{l|yo|àrè}} àrè, {{af|yo|oní-|òdù|mọ̀|àrè|t1=one who has|t2=pot, source|t3=to know|t4=stranger, foreigner, one of know background}} oní- (“one who has”) + òdù (“pot, source”) + mọ̀ (“to know”) + àrè (“stranger, foreigner, one of know background”) Head templates: {{head|yo|proper noun|head=Olódùmarè|head2=}} Olódùmarè, {{yo-pos|proper noun|Olódùmarè}} Olódùmarè, {{yo-prop|Olódùmarè}} Olódùmarè
