"pupa" meaning in Yoruba

See pupa in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /k͡pū.k͡pā/
Etymology: Compare with Ifè kpikpa, probably from a reduplication of pa (“to be red”), which follows the general pattern of the other basic color roots, which involve a duplication of monosyllabic verbs. See dúdú (“black”), a reduplication of dú (“to be dark”) and funfun, a reduplication of fun (“to be white”). Proposed to be derived from Proto-Yoruboid *-kpa Perhaps related to Fon kpákpá (“a tree with red wood”), proposed by Westerman to be derived from Proto-Volta-Congo *pia Etymology templates: {{cog|ife|kpikpa}} Ifè kpikpa, {{inh|yo|alv-yrd-pro|*-kpa}} Proto-Yoruboid *-kpa, {{cog|fon|kpákpá|t=a tree with red wood}} Fon kpákpá (“a tree with red wood”), {{inh|yo|nic-vco-pro|*pia}} Proto-Volta-Congo *pia Head templates: {{head|yo|noun|head=pupa|head2=}} pupa, {{yo-pos|noun|pupa|}} pupa, {{yo-noun|pupa}} pupa
  1. red; that which is red Synonyms: Yoruba Varieties and Languages - pupaview map (english: red), now deemed dialects of Yorùbá in Nigeria (i.e. Southeast Yorùbá, Northwest Yorùbá, Central Yorùbá, and Northeast Yorùbá), have converged with those of Standard Yorùbá leading to the creation of what can be labeled Common Yorùbá. It can be assumed that the Standard Yorùbá term can also be used in most Nigerian varieties alongside native terms (Funṣọ Akere, 1977), especially amongst younger speakers. This does not apply to the other Nigerian Yoruboid languages of Ìṣẹkírì and Olùkùmi, nor the Èdè Languages of Benin and Togo
