Reconstruction:Proto-Bantu/ìbá

Etymology
Apparently an innovation within Narrow Bantu; Bostoen rejects proposed cognates in wider Benue-Congo as being related to the easily confused root.

Noun

 * 1)  oil palm (Elaeis guineensis)

Usage notes
Despite some attestation in Guthrie zones H and R, Bostoen states that diffusion may account for this distribution rather than inheritance.
