A row for every lineage, town and divinity this corpus has looked for oríkì about, marking which carry a full three-layer text in a named file, which exist only as an unverified harvest record, and which are open gaps.
Machine na im translate dis page and no person don check am. The Yorùbá wey dem quote, the proverbs, the meanings and the citations dey exactly as the original. Everything else fit wrong.
The Yorùbá wey dem quote, the proverbs, oríkì, ẹsẹ Ifá, word list headwords, Odù names and citations dey exactly as the corpus record dem, for every language.
Dis file dey answer one question for any lineage, town or divinity: weda dis corpus get oríkì for am, and for which state e dey. Three states dey wey separate from each other throughout. In corpus mean say one file for dis section present di text for di three layers wey dis corpus require: di original with any diacritics wey di source print, literal gloss, and idiomatic English translation wey get di name of di translator. Harvest only mean say automated research pass bring out record wey carry Yorùbá text and at least one source, but no file present am; noting for dat state don pass through di verification protocol, and dem identify di record here by im id inside data/oriki.json so dat person go fit find am and judge am. Gap mean say dis corpus go find text but e no see any usable one.
Di count: 74 three-layer text across 20 files , wey dem bring out from harvest of 95 records wey dey inside data/oriki.json and wey dem build from di 54 files inside data/harvest/oriki/ . Out of dose 95 records, 83 carry translator name and 12 no carry . Di process wey build di harvest mark every record as confidence: unverified , and na why harvest id inside di tables below na pointer to research, no be citation at all.
Di column wey dey far right for each table na wetin person suppose trust. Slug wey dey inside dey lead go file for dis section wey present di text and state im source for where dem use am. Harvest id wey dey inside dey lead go record inside data/oriki.json, wey be research material and never reach corpus level. Where subject get di two, di file pass di record.
To dey listed as harvest only no mean say di text bad. E mostly mean say di record arrive late, e duplicate subject wey dem don already present from better source, or e carry source wey dis section never fit check. To dey listed as gap na stronger statement: e mean say dem search but dem no see anything wey dis corpus ready to print.
Seventeen divinities carry three-layer text. Four subjects bring out harvest records wey no file present.

Dem no present am, because the source field no mention author, no publication and no year, and the URL na bare social-media root wey nothing dey behind am wey person fit identify. oriki-orile-owu-iresa-and-gaps talk this one clearly and tell reader wey dey do research on Alápà totemic practice make e treat the matter say e still open instead of to assume say dem cover am.
Ọba Ẹlẹ́yọ Geji na normal omission: the record mention O. I. Pogoson and A. O. Akande as translators, wey be published source wey person fit check, but no file carry am.

Na oriki-personal-and-inagije-map be the routing file for this class: e point to every personal and ìnagijẹ text wey dey spread across the thematic file-dem instead of to duplicate dem, and na only the Àkànbi formula e directly present.
The topic-dem wey dey under na things wey reader fit dey reasonably expect but e no go see dem; dem list dem so that the absence go clear instead make e just keep quiet.
Divinity dem wey no get oríkì anywhere inside dis corpus. Ọ̀rúnmìlà, Ṣọ̀npọ̀nná / Ọbalúayé and Erinlẹ̀ each get at least one harvest record and no text wey dey presented. Ọ̀rúnmìlà na di biggest single hole inside dis section as im position dey inside Ifá.
Town dem. Ẹ̀fọ̀n-Alààyè get harvest record wey no get translator name. Apart from am, di town dem wey dis section cover na di ones wey di harvest reach; plenty Yorùbá town dem wey get living oríkì tradition no dey here at all, and di reason why dem no dey here show wetin di research bring come, no be say dem pass judgment on top di town dem.
Lineage dem. Ọba Ẹlẹ́yọ Geji na harvest only. Dem cut Alápà based on sourcing and document am as open. Karin Barber fieldwork for Òkukù na di deepest lineage material wey dey inside dis section, and na only for one town e deep reach, wey mean say how lineage coverage take spread no balance at all based on wetin scholarship wey dey ground bring, no be by choice.
Ẹgbẹ́ and ẹranko. One text each, and oriki-egbe-and-eranko talk di limits of di two directly. Na dis two be di rarest classes inside dis section and person no fit talk say any of dem dey covered.
Wetin no table here fit show. Dem dey perform Oríkì, and plenty of wetin di text dey do dey inside tone, pace, di drum sound under di voice, and wetin di performer choose to add for dis particular audience. oriki-poetics-and-untranslatability dey handle wetin dey lost for page. Row wey dem mark "in corpus" mean say text dey ground and dem source am well, no be say dem don capture di oríkì.
Material wey initiates dey hold. For where praise text dem belong to initiation context and no be for public, dis corpus no dey find dem and e no dey print dem. Dem state dat boundary for di point of use inside di file dem wey touch am, instead of to treat am like coverage gap wey dem suppose close.
A map of this section's oriki texts, how it relates to the oriki material already in 02-language and 12-towns, and what this section does and does not cover.
The complete classification of oríkì by subject, orílẹ̀ through eranko, with a worked text for each kind and the boundary cases that show the categories are not airtight.
Where oríkì with reliable Yoruba originals and named translators actually lives in print, who collected it, and what is and is not digitised or open access.
The Owu lineage's cloth and temperament oríkì, two conflicting versions of the Iresa lineage text, and a plain account of the lineage material this corpus found and could not verify.
What oríkì are, the different kinds, who performs them and why, and how they carry history that written records do not.
The praise poetry that attaches a person to a place of origin, why Yoruba people carry a town identity they may never have lived in, and how that identity crossed the Atlantic.
