    I forgot to mention that "Èsù" is a dialectical variant of "Èṣù;" either pronunciation is equally valid, and "ṣù" has the exact same meaning(s) as "sù." Popularity-wise, I can't say one is more popular than the other.
    The sound of "s" is more popular than that of "ṣ" in most dialects. The "ṣ" sound was used more often in the present-day Ògùn and Èkó (Lagos) State areas than anywhere else.
    Although "ṣ" was recognized in the other dialects, many people only preferred to use it when pronouncing words that are intended for emphasis/exclamation, like "ṣíọ̀ (which the English "pshaw" was derived from)."

    I appreciate this conversation. I have a different take on this name, based on comparative data. I equate Èṣú with Wsjr "Osiris" of Egypt. Too much to get into here. However, it is my argument that Èṣú , actually, is the "power of kingship." It is a reflex of
    Yoruba: ɛ̀ṣɔ́ “noble men of military achievement”
    Egyptian: sr “nobleman; official”
    Igbo: ọzọ “noble men of military achievement”; Ezè “king”
    Idoma: hɔ̀ṣɛ́ “king”
    Igbira: Osu “God”
    Nupe: Etsu “King”
    Vashona ishé /iʃé/ "A master or a ruler; a being possessing supreme authority or power of control; a monarch, governor, chief, proprietor; lord."
    A variant of the root is àṣɛ “authority, power, law, command,” which has two forms in Egyptian: i.e., wsr “powerful, great one, wealthy, influential,” wAs “dominion, have power, prosperous, honor due (to a king)." Note that /A/ in Egyptian is an /ʀ̃/ sound. A by-form in Egyptian is sw “to win power, gain power” > ns.wt “king” > nsw.y “to rule as king” [NK] > nsw.yt “kingship.” For many Yoruba words that are cognate with Egyptian where n- is a prefix, it is rendered "zero" in Yoruba (meaning it disappears). When we do single language etymolgozing, we run a high risk of doing folk-etymology. The Yoruba language has lost many syllables and affixes to roots for many reasons. So trying to explain Yoruba with Yoruba can lead us astray.

Thinking he will be respected in the long run but people can see through the bs. It is unfortunate that we still have people like him playing the long game for selfish reasons. The truth will always be revealed. It can never stay buried forever. The Most High must continue to bless you for teaching the truth. Amin, ase.

    I loved the video. on the question of justice and balance, it is interesting to think about the discussion in philosophy of law about retributive and restitutive justice. the first tending to punish more for errors and the second seeking the restitution of balance as a priority. which of the two justices do you believe Exu fits more? and I would like to suggest a similar video about ifá. gratitude.

    • @yorubalessons
      @yorubalessons  Рік тому +2

      I'm not an initiate/priestess, and I can't ascertain it, but I suspect it's more like the second. What you consider an error may be just right in my eyes, and that's where the unpredictability of Èṣù's perspective comes in.

    Ajayi also introduces S̩ sound. No Yoruba dialect has S̩ sound if we research it well. ÈS̩Ù is originally È̩SÙ or ÈCHÙ depending on the dialect but no dialect pronounce as ÈŞÙ until Ajayi Crowther create a written standard to make it easy for European invaders to say.

    • @yorubalessons
      @yorubalessons  Рік тому +14

      That’s ridiculously untrue, Aghone. If an English person can say “say,” “Satan,” or “salt,” they can definitely say “Èsù.”
      The “ch” sound is only centuries old (and is a result of migration and multiculturalism). While “s” is more prominent in most dialects, the “ṣ" sound is almost just as old. Àjàyí was birthed in Òṣoògùn, and people from the town will confirm that the “ṣ” sound was not his invention.
      I call Crowther out on his mess every chance I get, but to claim that he pulled “ṣ" out of his ass for easier pronunciation would be such a bold-faced lie.
