Reconstruction:Proto-Yoruboid/ɔ́-kà

Etymology
Ultimately reconstructed to. Likely a much younger term since it is not found outside of Volta-Congo while sorghum is one of the oldest domesticated crops in the region, having agricultural records since 8000 B.C. See Proto-Ebira "*àkwʊ́", 🇨🇬, (🇨🇬, see 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬), 🇨🇬, and perhaps 🇨🇬. In its descendant languages and also descendants of other fellow proto-languages of Volta Niger-Congo, the word also began to be used for the plant maize when it arrived to West Africa, likely because it occupied (and in most places, replaced) its place in many dishes and in agriculture.
