Some beautiful Edo names of which the abbreviation "Amen" was or has been derived.

1) Ameghasihion.......Amen gha se ihion. This means what goes around comes around. What affects the eyes can affect the nose, the same as what affects the friend or enemy can come around so thou shall not revel in others misfortune.

2) Amenaghawuon......Amen ne agha wuon ele se omwan rae. This is referring to destiny. What is destined to be yours will never pass you by

3) Amowie.............Amen owie ne gbe orumwokpa....This is specific about the storm of life; it doesn't select or chose who it touches.

4) Ameze........ Amen eze eghi si ofo. Water from the stream will not cause you to sweat. A cool and calm manner can douse a red hot situation.

4) Egbebaloakhamen.....Egbe eghi balo akhe amen. The water pot is always cool and not often boiling. An elder or leader must be cool tempered.

Note...In writing Edo language, as in the instance of "Amen", there is supposed to be a dot (.) underneath the (e) but I have not been able to do that in this case, though I have tried but I am not really a computer genius so I have in some instance added (n) after the (e) to make is sound straight forward and easily understandable by the Edos' therefore (Amen) in this case should not be seen as a response to prayers in English, it simply means Water.

What You Must Know Translating Any New Word To Edo Language

What you must know translating new words There is a limit to which translations of things in English, French, Spanish, Arabic and other languages can be translated into Edo due to limited dictionary, materials and standardization of the language to expand its resources and vocabulary. Normally most nouns in Edo do take "e" before the actual noun is pronounced. The use of “e” before nouns could be very confusing and inappropriate when making complex sentence, writing essay or making long sentense.	There are 4 principal ways of translation In Edonaze. They are: a) Direct translation approach b) Corrupt translation approach c) Significant translation approach d) Adopted translation approach
	(A) Direct translation are translations that already have its equivalent meaning in Edo. Edo already have  an original name of  the  particular object, animals, place or things. . E.g. Eho means Knife in English, Ugbo means Farm, Eze means river, Ukoni means kitchen, Ewe means goat, owa means house, etc
(B) Corrupt translation means calling and writing names of objects, animals, place or things in their initial name in their borrowed language but recompose in line with Edo alphabet, consonants and vowel sounds. E.g. Internaional = intanasiona, chemistry = kẹmisiri (note: no “ch” in Edo consonants), Nigeria = Naigirria, etc. For instance to calling Microwave “Emwin na tiere Microwave" will be clumsy sentence, while the corruption translation to “Maikirowavi” is more appropriate. Firigi as a corruption name for Fridge, Ọzifọdi for Oxford, redio for radio etc.	(C) Significant translation is making a noun out of an expression, phrase or clause. E.g. “Space Science” space = Idagbo ne ọh rr'iso / Idagbiso. Idagbo means empty / open place/space while “Iso” is “sky”. Empty place in the sky (planet space) could be represented in Edo as “Idagbiso” while Science could be called sanyensi. “Space Science” interpreted as “Sanyensi Idagbiso”. “Aighi gue Oba sinmwin” (as noun a name of a person) to Aiguobasinmwin. Great Benin Bronze
(D) Adopted Translation refers to an adopted name sometimes obligated by authorities, linguistic boards, institution and ministries. Names that did not exist initially in Edo grammar but have been chosen and adopted to take its use. In Edo language, pronouciations are very sensitive to combination of its consonants and vowel sounds.

Noun in Edonaze

Nouns in Edonaze By Uwagboe Ogieva
@January 2011

A noun is a name of a person, animals, place or things.

Choose between Edo double consonant “vb, kh, kp, mw, rr, rh, gb, gh” and give a noun in relative (e.g. have chosen “vb”)

1. ọvbokhan = younger, teenage

2. ivbiedo = Edo people

3. ovbiye = blood brother or sister (usually a female name)

4. ẹvbo = country, nation, community (as the case may be)

5. uvbi = young girl, pretty lady (used sometimes as female name in Edo)

6. ovbiẹden = cat

7. ẹvbi = fat

8. ovbieodo = native mortar for pounding yam

9. Izevbigie = name of a male child literally translated as “have chosen from the part of wealth”

10. ẹvbomwan = name of a male child literally translated as “ ones own country”

"Borrowed nouns or names in Edo language usually start with the prefix "e" before the word.

Examples...

Emoto, Esuku, Etisa, Ekpamakpu (from Portuguese Kamaku), Ematon (from Portuguese metal), Epita, Epauli, Etaba (from Portuguese Tabacco), Ekuye (from Portuguese Kuye which is spoon), etc.

Note however that native words exist hay also start with "e" but the difference is that the "e" is often a part and parcel of the word and not a prefix, thus inseparable from the rest of the word meaningfully. Examples include Edede, Edo, Eriyo, Esan, Eko, Emotan, etc.

For prefix introducing borrowed nouns, the word would still make sense if you remove the "e" e.g. Esuku. But for native words starting with "e" the word would no longer make sense if separated e.g. Edokpolor.

Pronouns And Usage In Edo Grammar

Pronouns In Edo By Uwagboe Ogieva © 2011

❶ IhI

❷ MẹMe

❸ Ọghomwen/mwen
My, mine (possesive pronoun)

❹ Wẹ / uhyou

❺ Ọwuẹ
your, yours (possesive pronoun)

➅ Imawe, us

➆ Ọghima / ghima
our, ours (possesive pronoun)

➇ Ẹre / Onren it, its

➈ Ọh / ah / Ihien / Onren
he, she, him, her

➉ Ọghẹ
his, hers (possesive pronoun)

11) Ihianthey, them

12) Ọghihian

13) UwaYou (Plural)

What Is a Pronoun?

Pronouns are use instead of nouns. They make up a small subcategory of nouns. The distinguishing characteristic of pronouns is that they can be substituted for other nouns. For instance, if you are telling a story about a sister of yours named Edowaye, the story will begin to sound repetitive if you keep repeating “Edowaye” over and over again.

E.g:
Edowaye has always loved fashion. Edowaye announced that Edowaye wants to go to fashion school.

You could try to mix it up by sometimes referring to Edowaye as “my sister,” but then it sounds like you are referring to two different people or persons, i.e. Edowaye has always loved fashion. My sister announced that Edowaye wants to go to fashion school.

To write this in a better and clearer form, you can use the pronouns she and her to refer to Edowaye.

E.g:
Edowaye has always loved fashion. She announced that she wants to go to fashion school.

"Ẹdowaye rhuẹmwen emwinmuegbe. Ọh vbe ho ne ihien ye esuku emwinmuegbe"
