Yorùbá proverbs drawn from the corpus, each with the literal gloss and the idiomatic English the corpus itself gives it. Nothing here is paraphrased.

The ideas this corpus most often sees misread, each set out with the misunderstanding named, a worked example, and why it matters.
Games, chants and play as the sources record them, with the rules, the sung opening, and what is and is not documented about how widely each was played.
Praise poetry gathered by an automated search pass and not yet reviewed. Every item on this page is unverified: it is shown so it can be checked, not because it has been.
