The word is originally "Egwusi". It is an Orlu word for melon. Orlu is an Igbo dialet, although it is also called "Elili" in some Igbo dialets. I have taken time to ask many elderly Yorubas if the word 'Egusi" is originally a Yoruba word and they said it is not. VivaM (talk) 11:40, 1 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello VivaM, and welcome. Please note that everything we write on Wikipedia must be verifiable from reliable sources. Also, Wikipedia doesn't allow original research such as personal conversations, so unfortunately your conversations with the elderly Yorubas would be considered original research. Can you find a book or newspaper reference, in any language, to verify what you're proposing to add? Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 11:47, 1 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
