Ògúndá Méjì

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

Iron. Work. The cleared path.

Ògún’s Odù. The cutlass. Labour that opens a road.

Work, surgery of a problem, the first farm of the year.

Ògúndá is Ògún in the corpus. Three open, one closed — a path with a stop at the end. Teach aládàá méjì, iṣẹ́ (work), ọ̀nà (road). A language learner in Ògúndá does the drill, not the speech about the drill. Iron is practice.
