Seven orisa treated together: the farming orisa, the hunter who became a river, Sango's other wife and the ear narrative, the orisa of wealth, the sea, the hunter of Ketu, and the one whose diaspora identity diverged furthest from his Yoruba one.

The Yoruba orisa of hunting, stealth, forest strategy, and unerring justice, from his royal center in Ketu to his transformed status in the Atlantic diaspora.

Two further Esu texts beyond the one analysed for its poetics elsewhere in this section, two Osanyin herbal-medicine oriki of markedly different quality, and the hunter-diviner Osoosi's homage formula.
