Reconstruction:Proto-Yoruboid/ó-lũ̀

Alternative forms

 * (reduplicated form)

Etymology
From the root, probably referring to shining or light, a much younger root, likely innovated by Proto-Yoruboid or late stage Volta-Niger speakers (or Proto-Defoid speakers, if such a thing existed). The Yoruba descendant languages as well as Itsekiri, maintain a form consisting of a partial reduplication of this verb root, however it is unclear if the Proto-Yoruboid form also reflected this partial-reduplication. Compare with 🇨🇬, maybe 🇨🇬.
