Cognate with Yoruba erin, Urhobo eni, Edo ení, Igbo enyi, Igala éli. Proposed to be derived from Proto-Yoruboid *é-lĩ or Proto-Yoruboid *é-nĩ. See Benue-Congo cognates, Ibibio eniin, Tee ni, Proto-Lower Cross River *é-nì:n, Proto-Ogoni *ǹnĩ, Westerman constructs a possible reconstruction to Proto-Atlantic-Congo *-ni-.

[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]
Cognate with Urhobo eni, Edo ení, Igbo enyi, Igala éli, Olukumi erin, in many cognate languages, this form was replaced by a form seen in Nupe dagba, Idoma adagba, Igala adagba. Proposed to be derived from Proto-Yoruboid *é-lĩ or Proto-Yoruboid *é-nĩ. See Benue-Congo cognates, Ibibio eniin, Tee ni, Proto-Lower Cross River *é-nì:n, Proto-Ogoni *ǹnĩ, Westerman constructs a possible reconstruction to Proto-Atlantic-Congo *-ni-, and also suggests that it probably is of the same root as the root for four, thereby being a distant Doublet of ẹ̀rin

Note: This amalgamation of terms comes from a number of different academic papers focused on the unique varieties and languages spoken in the Yoruboid dialectal continuum which extends from eastern Togo to southern Nigeria. The terms for spoken varieties, now deemed dialects of Yorùbá in Nigeria (i.e. Southeast Yorùbá, Northwest Yorùbá, Central Yorùbá, and Northeast Yorùbá), have converged with those of Standard Yorùbá leading to the creation of what can be labeled Common Yorùbá (Funṣọ Akere, 1977). It can be assumed that the Standard Yorùbá term can also be used in most Nigerian varieties alongside native terms, especially amongst younger speakers. This does not apply to the other Nigerian Yoruboid languages of Ìṣẹkírì and Olùkùmi, nor the Èdè Languages of Benin and Togo. |

[edit]From Proto-Yoruba *o-rĩ, *e-rĩ, from Proto-Edekiri *e-rĩ, *o-rĩ, ultimately from Proto-Yoruba *é-lĩ. The use of e-/o- suffixes signify the retention of an obsolete singular/plural noun market that has been obsolete since Proto-Yoruboid. Compare with Olukumi orin, Ifè orin, Itsekiri ẹrín, Igala éli
