"ọlọja" meaning in Yoruba

See ọlọja in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɔ̄.lɔ́.d͡ʒà/ Forms: ọlọ́jà [canonical]
Etymology: For the first sense, from oní- (“one who has”) + ọjà (“town”), compare with Olukumi ọlọ́zà, for the second sense, from oní- (“one who has”) + ọjà (“market”). The semantic shift of ọjà from meaning town, village to market seems to have happened after the adoption of ọlọ́jà (king) as a title. Eventually the use of the term as king or monarch has largely been replaced historically by terms like ọwá, ọba, and baálẹ̀.
