Ọ̀bárà Méjì

['I', 'II', 'II', 'II']

The rope. The messenger. News.

One open mouth at the top. Speech that binds. Gossip and good news share a rope.

When a message must be carried. When a child learns not to repeat everything.

Ọ̀bárà is the rope Odù. Òkùn binds. In class: reported speech, òwe that travel. Teach ìròyìn (news) and ẹlẹ́sẹ̀ (messenger). One open mark, three closed — a single clear word in a closed room. Watch the tone on bàrà.
