Reconstruction:Proto-Yoruboid/ʊ́-ɓã́

Etymology
Possibly an innovation by Proto-Yoruboid speakers, since no languages have similar cognates, except possibly 🇨🇬. Its descendant languages converted /ɓ/ first to /ɣ/ or /w/, and in Standard Yoruba, the /w/ converted to /h/, a phenomenon seen in many other words descended from Proto-Yoruboid. The root may refer to an obsolete term referring to speech or language.
