See Alafẹrẹ in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ā.lá.fɛ̄.ɾɛ́/ Forms: Aláfẹrẹ́ [canonical]
Etymology: From oní- (“one who has”) + afẹrẹ́ (“wind, breeze, cold weather”), literally “Owner of the wind”. Afẹrẹ́ is a term for wind in the Northeast and Central Yoruba dialects. Alafere's role as a female wind deity and female equivalent to a male fire deity takes the form of the deity Ọya in most other Yorùbá towns. Ọya may have developed from Aláfẹrẹ́ worship. In modern times, she is often celebrated simultaneously with Ọya and Ìjùgbẹ̀ Etymology templates: {{af|yo|oní-|afẹrẹ́|lit=Owner of the wind|t1=one who has|t2=wind, breeze, cold weather}} oní- (“one who has”) + afẹrẹ́ (“wind, breeze, cold weather”), literally “Owner of the wind” Head templates: {{head|yo|proper noun|head=Aláfẹrẹ́|head2=}} Aláfẹrẹ́, {{yo-pos|proper noun|Aláfẹrẹ́}} Aláfẹrẹ́, {{yo-prop|Aláfẹrẹ́}} Aláfẹrẹ́
