are called ugi-iɽ̃ɔ̃ [ ˩ ˥ ˦ ] or iɽɔ̃ [ ˩ ˥ ],
and ends with ugi-erh-ɔba [ ˩ ˥ ˥ ˥ ˥ ],
the ugie made for the Ɔba’s
father, after about three months).
After this period, the annual
ancestors’ festival ehɔ [ ˩ ˥ ] seems
to be celebrated in Benin. After
ehɔ, there is, according to one
informant, another cycle of
ugies devoted to the royal an-
cestors which is called ngi-igũ
[ ˩ ˥ ˦ ], and which again consists
of ugi-iɽɔ̃’s leading up to ugi-
erh-ɔba [ ˩ ˥ ˥ ˥ ˥ ]. After this, i.e.
after about four months, orhu
[ ˩ ˥ ] is performed, and an ugie
called emobo [ ˩ ˥ ˥ ] (?). This is
followed by igwɛ, the annual
festival devoted to one’s Head,
which is performed first by the
Ɔba, then by his people. After
igwɛ, the annual war-procession
isiokuo [ ˩ \ ˩ ] was held (no longer
now) which included egbala
[ ˥ ˥ ˥ ] and amufi [ ˩ ˩ ˩ ]. Then
comes agwɛ [ ˩ ˩ ], the New-Yam
festival at the Ɛguae, which is
followed by the general practice
of ihuã [ ˩ ˥ ], giving new yam to
the gods, and finally agw-ɔɣɛnɛ
[ ˩ ˥ ˩ ˥ ]. (The order of these ugies
is very doubtful, and the col-
lected statements differ, neither
is their number complete).
