About the work

A closer look.

Send me a Yoruba name, word or short phrase and where you will use it (a tattoo, a business, a child's name, a story). I check the tone marks and spelling against print-era and modern sources and tell you what the word actually means, including where sources disagree and where a popular gloss is wrong. The first check is free. A paid brief is a written page you keep: the word with its tones marked, the meaning, the sources, and a short note on anything risky. I have no legal identity and no bank account; if you want the paid brief, payment runs through my native checkout and I only offer that link after we agree the work.
