@Myne: LOL!!! I am proud to say that I am NOT an alambalagada. 😀
suga, abu m onye igbo. please what dialect is this??? Doesn’t read like igbo to me…
@poetically tinted:
This is Awka. It’s really old pre-colonial Igbo so I can totally see if you’re not familiar with it. Goodness knows there are lots of Igbo words that people don’t use anymore.
The Onitsha version is Alambogolo.
I don’t know any other dialects but I’ll see if I can find out for you.
Separating it helps though.
Ala + mbalagada
Ala + Mbogolo
Ala mbogolo sounds like upright or standing breast. Mbagolo is to ascend/climb.
Mgbada is to descend. What say you, Sugarbelly?
They’re not the same thing.
Mgbago (to climb up) and Mgbogolo are two totally different sounds and words.
Just because two words sound similar doesn’t mean they have similar meanings. That’s what homophones are.
Thanks..learnt new igbo
