[QUOTE]Originally posted by IronLion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by IronLion: [qb] Edun is also an Edo name which is answered by many men in Benin-city. [/qb][/QUOTE]Good...now let's see if we can find a 'match' in Mtau Ntr. Does 'Edun' in Edo mean any of the following? [b]ed~n[/b] = Amen, god of the solar disk [b]ed~n[/b] = ear - ( besides 'eho'? ) [b]ed~n[/b] = deputy, agent, vicar, proxy [b]et~n[/b] = resist, revolt, push aside [b]et~n[/b] = place of restraint [b]et~n[/b] = ground, dust, earth, land, estate, farm (Coptic: eiten) [b]et~n[/b] = bind, tie [b]etun[/b] = kind of plant ...If not, what is its meaning, and we'll take it from that approach... Or you can use the Hieroglyphic Dictionary to find also ;) [/qb][/QUOTE]Now I have to do a lil bit of digging to come up with the Edo meaning of Edun. It is possible that it is another variation on the pronounciation of Edo since the neighbouring Igbos used to refer to the Edo as the Idu or Idun. You can see that Idun and Edun are close. But I will be back with a more direct after I consult with my Edo brothers. Lion! [/QB][/QUOTE]
