"Ofun" meaning in Yoruba

See Ofun in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ò.fṹ/ Forms: Òfún [canonical]
Etymology: Cognate across Volta-Niger, the term has remained relatively constant across all the languages in that group, making it potentially possible to reconstruct the root all the way to Proto-Volta-Niger, (see Proto-Volta-Niger *-fú). Cognate with Igala Òfú, Itsekiri Òfún, ultimately derived from Proto-Yoruboid *Ò-fṹ, see there for more cognates.
