IPA: /ɔ̀.kĩ́/ Forms: ọ̀kín [canonical]
Etymology: The ọ̀kín bird originally referred to the white morph of the African Paradise flycatcher, which has extremely long, white wings. It is praised as "king of the birds." Upon the introduction of peacocks to Nigeria sometime in the mid-1900s, ọ̀kín became a neologism referring to the peacock, and now it is widely used.
