Colors

1. Dzĩ

   Red

   Usage

   Use it to name or point out the colour red. In scripture it describes red-dyed thread and skins

   Grammar Note

   The nasal vowel ĩ matters: without the tilde dzi means “heart”, a different word. It is also used to describe things dyed red.

2. Ɣi

   White

   Usage

   Use it to name or point out the colour white

   Grammar Note

   ɣi is “white” and differs from ɣe “sun”. The letter ɣ is its own letter, not g.

3. Yibɔ

   Black

   Usage

   Use it to name or point out the colour black

   Grammar Note

   yibɔ is “black”. The final ɔ is the open o, a separate letter from o. It also occurs in a word for people, so do not apply it to a person.
