The Igbo word, òwu and the Yorubá word, òwú, mean the same thing! Additionally, the Twi word, owu, is pronounced the same as those two words!
The Yoruba, òwú, and the Igbo, òwu, both mean "cotton" or "thread" The Twi, owu, means "death".
We found a triple-language #homophone from 3 different languages! Owu/Òwu/Òwú from #Twi, #Igbo and #Yorùbá sound exactly the same while the words from Igbo and Yorùbá mean the same thing!
