"iga" meaning in Yoruba

See iga in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ì.ɡà/ Forms: ìgà [canonical]
Etymology: Cognate with Edo ùghà, Itsekiri ùghà, probably ultimately from Proto-Edekiri *ʊ̀-ɣà, but also possibly an Edo loan word. Also see Proto-Yoruba *ʊ̀-ɣà. The palace of the Oba of Lagos is known as ìgà, which may suggest this term is likely an Edo term, perhaps borrowed into Proto-Edekiri or a later stage of Yoruba.
