My thoughts from this book.
1. For this children's book I am able to understand at least 60-70% of all the words. Not bad now.
2. Still not enough to understand the story without help.
3. @google Translate is really bad for #Igbo language, but still helps looking up many phrases.
4. This being Owerri dialect (right?) it looks like #OwerriIgbo tends to use 'dị' (to be like something) often where my previous training would put 'bụ' (to be something).
③ Lastly, Ọgụ consults his other wise helper about sun and moon. The situation there was some kind of horror show. Sun got angry and sliced Moon's face, and it doesn't heal all that well.
And with that turns out Ọgụ got 2 out of 3, and Mgba got 1.
That makes Ọgụ the successor, and with this every 'dị ọkpara', first son becomes traditionally the successor of every king.
More news from #AlaBINGO :
King Ọgara found a way to marry his love.
They got 2 sons: Ọgụ and Mgba.
The king is getting old, who's the successor?
Ọgụ conquers and scatters a pack of lions troubling villagers.
Mgba fought a man called Ụchị, but instead of beating Ụchị, Mgba's caught a chimpanzee and presented him as a gift.
Seems the question of succession will be the topic of the next chapter, ISI 9.
