Noun

IPA: /ē.d͡ʒī/
Etymology: Possibly derived from Proto-Yoruboid *é-ji or Proto-Yoruboid *á-ji. Cognate with Igala áji (“river, stream, any type of body of water”) and Arigidi edʒĩ (“water”), Arigidi ùdʒi, Adja eji, Fon jĭ (“rain”), likely originally served as a synonym for water or any water-related noun in Proto-Yoruboid before becoming defined more narrowly. The root verb "ji" may be cognate with Nupe jè (“to flow, to run (as water)”), compare with Nupe èjè (“current, tide of water”), possibly from the root Proto-Niger-Congo *-gi (“water”) Etymology templates: {{inh|yo|alv-yrd-pro|*é-ji}} Proto-Yoruboid *é-ji, {{inh|yo|alv-yrd-pro|*á-ji}} Proto-Yoruboid *á-ji, {{cog|igl|áji|t=river, stream, any type of body of water}} Igala áji (“river, stream, any type of body of water”), {{cog|aqg|edʒĩ|t=water}} Arigidi edʒĩ (“water”), {{cog|aqg|ùdʒi}} Arigidi ùdʒi, {{cog|ajg|eji}} Adja eji, {{cog|fon|jĭ|t=rain}} Fon jĭ (“rain”), {{cog|nup|jè|t=to flow, to run (as water)}} Nupe jè (“to flow, to run (as water)”), {{cog|nup|èjè|t=current, tide of water}} Nupe èjè (“current, tide of water”), {{inh|yo|nic-pro|*-gi|t=water}} Proto-Niger-Congo *-gi (“water”) Head templates: {{head|yo|noun|head=eji|head2=}} eji, {{yo-pos|noun|eji|}} eji, {{yo-noun|eji}} eji
