* 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).
