My name is Odotei Kwablah Odotei and I will like to make this point. Throughout these name, there is one(1) single root. The ROOT name is KWA or KW. This kwa simply means human/ person. This is a term used by most of the people who lived by the Nile river. Ghanaians used to live by the Nile river, a city called Blemyae (Blema) before migrating to our present settlement
So Kwa Blah means "Person on Tuesday". Then again, you will notice that, women are not entitled with KWA because our ancestors did not usually count women as part of the family because, they would be taken away from the family through marriage
Please we can trace these day names from Obutu area Ada ewe ,krobo and Ada Same to our names. Again our names shows clearly the real Gas of the Ga state. Please research on that.
Well said, BUT, it is not us. It is NOT our culture. In our culture, our names ‘bring us home’. The day names you are suggesting are used as a matter of pride, that is why it is usually not added to our traditional names. My two pesewas.
We have Odehebi, Ajɔɔ, Naa Dromɔ, tsui shitoo etc.
God bless you for your good works. 🤝🤝🤝
Thank you professor for enlightenment on Ga Civics. Congratulations on your passion for enriching Ga symbolism and codification 🙏🏾
I remember that older adults would say mi shɔ yoo loo mi yoo ni afɔ mi ju when they were irated about something.
I commend you for adding to the linguistic Ga name for the week. There is a beginning for everything so this is a commendable video

With how things are going now between Ga and Dangme there would be a big difference in GaDangme.
It can further be stylized to
SHODUDE for men and
SHIBABE for women 😅
