@ Salma paralluelo : REGARDING SAYING GOOD MORNING BACK TO YOU IN THE EEBOE/IBO/EEGBOE/IGBO LANGUAGE (1)
Respects and Greetings,
Salma Paralluelo nnmah nm ( nnmah m ) ( nmah nm ) ( nmah m ) ( nma m ) ( nmam )
regarding the
eeboe / eboe / iboe / ibo
i.e
eegboe/ egboe / igboe / igbo
tribe of West(ern) Africa, Africa
language words for
Good Morning
it is my current view that
the eeboe / ibo / eegboe / igbo tribe
has
so deeply integrated and assimilated
some words from
the English Language
into
everyday spoken eeboe/ibo/eegboe/igbo
that
the original eeboe/ibo/eegboe/igbo words
for these stuff
have virtually faded out from
everyday ordinary usage
while
the English Language words for these stuff have taken over
quotidian usage i.e daily usage
e.g
■ ugbo-ani i.e ugbo-ala i.e ugbo-ana
=
boat-land i.e boat (of) (the) land
=
car i.e motor car
■ ngaji = spoon
■ ugodi = key e.g door key, car key
and that
the words
Good Morning
( and also
Good Afternoon
Good Evening )
are further paradigm examples of this type of integration and assimilation of a Europe native language into a Negroland Africa native culture.

having said that
let me also indicate that
i am aware that
the
traditional historical
Onitsha Eeboe/Ibo/Eegboe/Igbo
greetings
in the morning
to a person who wakes up from sleep
are :
iteta go ula ?
i.e
ee tehtah goh uhlah ?
thus
for example
an Onitsha grandmother
may say
to her grandchild
called Junior, for example,
in the morning hours
around 06:30 am or 07:00 am
when he wakes up from sleep
and
she sees him heading to the bathroom to take a bath
: Junior, iteta go ula ?
i.e
Junior, ee tehtah goh uhlah ?
to which the grandchild
then replies
: ehh. Granny, Good Morning.
TRANSLATIONS
iteta go ula
=
ee tehtah goh uhlah
ee = i = you
tehtah = teta = wake .. wake up
goh = go = (*i’m not sure of the exact translation for this*)
uhlah = ula = sleep
ehh = onomatopoiea = yes
so,
Salma nnkeh nm ( nnkeh m ) ( nkeh nm ) ( nkeh m ) ( nke nm ) ( nke m ) ( nkem ),
iteta go ula
=
ee tehtah goh uhlah
=
you wake / wake up {**from**} sleep
=
have you woken up from sleep
by the way,
Salma nm,
to put the picture as it is
i guess that perhaps
the equivalent of the
Onitsha Eeboe/Ibo/Eegboe/Igbo dialect
iteta go ula
=
ee tehtah goh uhlah
in
at least
one other Eeboe/Ibo/Eegboe/Igbo dialect
is
ibola chi ?
=
ee bor la chee ?

back in the day
circa 2012 A.D or thereabouts
while attempting to write
eeboe/ibo/eegboe/igbo
on/at
some of the internet pages of
Serena Williams
the circumstance of
an absence of a direct translation
of
the French and English
Bon Matin = Good Morning
Bon Apres Midi = Good Afternoon
Bon Soir = Good Evening
captured my attention
and
i came up with a direct equivalency
using the
eeboe/ibo/eegboe/igbo words
for
■ morning
■ afternoon
■ evening
■ greeting(s)
■ good
thus :
Ekene Ututu =
Ehkehneh Uhtuhtuh =
Greeting(s) Morning
Greetings [of/for/in the] Morning
Ekene Efifie =
Ehkehneh Aefeefeeae =
Greeting(s) Afternoon
Greetings [of/for/in the] Morning
Ekene Ngbede =
Ehkehneh nngbehdeh =
Greeting(s) Evening
Greetings [of/for/in the] Evening
Ezigbo Ututu =
Aezeegboh Uhtuhtuh =
Good Morning
Ezigbo Efifie =
Aezeegboh Aefeefeeae =
Good Afternoon
Ezigbo Ngbede =
Aezeegboh nngbehdeh =
Good Evening

Salma ohbee nm ( obim ),
when i tried out the phrases / expressions
on
igbo/ibo language speakers, :
(1) the Greetings
Ezigbo Ututu
( Aezeegboh Uhtuhtuh )
Ezigbo Efifie
( Aezeegboh Aefeefeeae )
Ezigbo Ngbede
( Aezeegboh nngbehdeh )
came as a surprise to them
and
in 100% of the instances
their response was invariably :
what ?!?
what did you say ?
what do you mean ?
in which event
i then added the English equivalent
Good Morning
Good Afternoon
Good Evening
respectively
thus saying
Ezigbo Ututu
Good Morning
( Aezeegboh Uhtuhtuh )
( Good Morning )
Ezigbo Efifie
Good Afternoon
( Aezeegboh Aefeefeeae )
( Good Afternoon )
Ezigbo Ngbede
Good Evening
( Aezeegboh nngbehdeh )
( Good Evening )
and then they responded :
oh ! ok ! is that what you were trying to say ?
oh ! ok ! is that what you meant ?

Salma nm,
sometime after
.. maybe a year or 2 years or more ..
after i had averred to Serena Williams
via
some of her internet pages
that
the eeboe/iboe/eegboe/ibo language does not have a direct equivalency for
Bon Matin
Bon Apres Midi
Bon Soir
Good Morning
Good Afternoon
Good Evening
i ran into a Praise Worship music track in which the singer was singing
Jesus, Ututu Oma
which in that dialect speaking of igbo/ibo
means
Jesus, Good Morning
i found it rather intriguing
and
i raised the phrase “Ututu Oma” in a discussion with
an Onitsha eeboe/ibo/eegboe/igbo person
mentioning that
prior to that instance
i had never heard that phrase before
and
wondering if perhaps the singer had originated the phrase himself
to which the person
responded that
the singer did not originate the phrase
and that
Ututu Oma
is in fact
an old greeting used by earlier generations gone by in Onitsha
and
that it was the historical traditional Good Morning greeting in Onitsha before the English language Good Morning took over.

Salma Paralluelo ormahleechar nm ( omalicham ),
for a while
i expounded this to other folks
until
i ran into another Onitsha folk
who averred that
the other Onitsha folk had given me wrong information
and that
neither was
Ututu Oma
an old greeting
used by earlier generations gone by
in Onitsha
nor
had/has it ever been
the historical traditional
Good Morning greeting in Onitsha
before
the English language Good Morning took over
at which point
i let the matter all alone completely
and
remained
with the
generally-used-by-all-igbo/ibo-language-speakers
Good Morning
Good Afternoon
Good Evening
which is
all really
a rather circumlocutory way
( .. circumlocutory as derivative from circumlocution .. )
of saying :
hey ! Salma baby !
keh-duh ! ( kedu ! ) hi !
Good Morning !
Salma babe, ar-rhu ar de kwoi ?
Salma babe, aru adi kwoi ?
fine babe, ee norr kwor orfuhmah ?
fine babe, ino kwo ofuma ?

continuing on the subject
of
saying Good Morning back to you
in the Eeboe / Eegboe Language,
Salma Paralluelo ormahleechar nm ( omalicham ),
it is probably best for
me to indicate
very clearly
for the purposes of
■ avoidance of any doubts whatsoever, if any
■ avoidance of any mis-interpretation(s) whatsoever, if any
■ avoidance of any mis-representation(s) whatsoever, if any
■ avoidance of any mis-understanding(s) whatsoever, if any
■ avoidance of any confusion(s) whatsoever, if any
whether inadvertent or un-intentional
that
while it is the veracity
that
my writing of Eeboe / Eegboe
on the internet
began at the internet page(s) of
Serena Williams
and took
initial form
at
i.e
crystallized
at
the internet page(s)
of
Serena Williams
it is also the veracity that
over time
i have written stuff on the internet in the Eeboe / Eegboe Language
at the internet page(s) of other folks
including
.. to mention just a few ..
.. and in no particular order of listing or precedence ..
the internet page(s) of
█ Rihanna
█ Coco
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyKbrb4bujvLmyL0bugcYmw
█ Cherokee D’ass
█ Nicki Minaj
and
█ other folks
too many
to list here
…. in my opinion.
