"ọja" meaning in Yoruba

See ọja in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɔ̄.d͡ʒà/ Forms: ọjà [canonical]
Etymology: Proposed to derive from Proto-Yoruboid *á-jà (“village, homestead”), cognate with Olukumi ọzà (“market”), Igala ájà (“residence. compound, homestead, settlement”), Itsekiri aja (“village”), Ifè adzà (“market”), where the semantic meaning shifted from "village," "homestead," or "home" to market, likely as towns grew bigger and markets became a feature of an established town. This semantic meaning seems to still exist in compound terms like ọlọ́jà (“king”), literally meaning "ruler of the town." The semantic shift may have appeared after the split of Itsekiri from Proto-Edekiri. Likely not related to Igala ájá (“market”) Etymology templates: {{inh|yo|alv-yrd-pro|*á-jà|t=village, homestead}} Proto-Yoruboid *á-jà (“village, homestead”), {{cog|ulb|ọzà|t=market}} Olukumi ọzà (“market”), {{cog|igl|ájà|t=residence. compound, homestead, settlement}} Igala ájà (“residence. compound, homestead, settlement”), {{cog|its|aja|t=village}} Itsekiri aja (“village”), {{cog|ife|adzà|t=market}} Ifè adzà (“market”), {{cog|igl|ájá|t=market}} Igala ájá (“market”) Head templates: {{head|yo|noun|head=ọjà|head2=}} ọjà, {{yo-pos|noun|ọjà|}} ọjà, {{yo-noun|ọjà}} ọjà

This semantic meaning seems to still exist in compound terms like ọlọ́jà (“king”), literally meaning \"ruler of the town.\" The semantic shift may have appeared after the split of Itsekiri from Proto-Edekiri. Likely not related to Igala ájá (“market”)",
