Listen to the akpwon (vocalist/chanter)! The first lines of the chant may run some of the words together! In the above text, it was denoted with ~, but be mindful and listen for it.
- Same thing happens with kosi ibarago: The i from kosi will blend right into ibarago – kosi~ibarago.
Listen to the akpwon for differences between how Elegua may be pronounced, specifically in the last line: you may hear it as Elegua or Elegba.
