• In the recording from Abbilona, the shorter oro ile call/response is sung first, but on this page, I have documented them flipped.
  • oro means literally words, or in this case, singing and praise.
  • ile would mean house or religious family.
  • emi means me.
• And putting that together, it may allude to the meaning:
  • I am singing with my religious family to/for Oya.
  • We all sing together.
