Odiwor or Owuor after midnight

Nam is a river for the luos of Siaya. Like nam Nzoia

Stop this nonsense, when you say that the Luo of Uganda, you are insinuating that there is one monolithic tribe called Luo of Uganda, far from it. And stop it. You are belittling the distinctiveness of the proud Acholi, the Alur, the Langi, the Dhopadhola of Uganda. All are Luo but different. To find the truth, visit rural Acholi to witness the Rurakaraka or Digidigi dances and contrast these with Onyango swang of Kenya Nyanza. There is only one Luo of kenya, the Dholuo. In Uganda there are many Luos. if you care to doing a honest comparison, compare the Dholuo of Kenya and the Dhopadhola of Uganda, or the Dholuo of Kenya and the Alur of Uganda OK. For the Alur of Uganda and the Dholuo of Kenya, it is not only distance that distinguishes each from the other, but time between migrations, politics, economics etc, so much is lost in between. Do not dump the Acholi, the Alur, the Langi, etc into one grab bag, the Luo of Uganda. It is condescending.

Kumo in Luo is exactly what this man explains. One showing Sadness facially or through some action

Educative conversations, by the way. I feel like Kumam are Luo but are just in denial because of the reasons well-known to them. We are all Luos period. I can understand Kumam better than I can understand dholuo of Kenya.

It's really nice showing how wonderful the luo people are. But i think he's mainly focused on specific countries cuz we know that another large luo group is the Balanda boor and the Chilluk of S.Sudan which he's been forgetting in all his videos which is really sad in some way 😢

In dholuo, what you call "Chumbi"(Salt) is called "Kado" in Luo of Kenya. Growing up, we were told not to call it " Kado" but "ratuon" at night. "Chumbi" is derived from Swahili's "Chumvi" and it is not originally Luo. "Kado" as you have said it also means "Soup" in dholuo.

My grandmother is not "Dawa" but "Dana". "Dawa' means our grandmother. In the same way we say we say "Deyena" for my grandmothers and "Deyewa" for our our grandmothers.

I can see the Luo picked vocabulary as they migrated thus the minor differences right from Sudan. I'm not a Luo but I enjoy your presentation.

Thanks for nice job Brother KP .Love from Mombasa Kenya

Simba inyalo nyombe kata ka ogik idar inyalo Weyo ominu ma odok korii nyalo dakie ma nyombo.Mana ki ihero to inyalo muko ka idar.Stand to be corrected..#Luo from South Nyanza kenya

Very beautiful, I am Acholi of Uganda but I didn't struggle following the interview.

Waguro kuon Kod alith kuon.

"mist" in dholuo is "ongweng'o"- luo kenya. "Oro" is dry season or drought in Luo of Kenya

The Luo say "Mera" to mean my mother, "merwa" to mean our mother, "megena" to mean my mothers and "megewa" to mean our mothers. Other versions of the mother are "Minwa" to mean my mother or our mother, "minena" to mean my mothers and "minewa" to mean our mothers. --- Luo Kenya

In luo, "mera" means my mother. That's how we get the word "nyar mera" or simply "nyamera" for my sister and "omera" for my brother. "Nyamera" simply means the daughter of my mother and "omera" the son of my mother. In modern language, many prefer to use "minwa" for my mother. Some people even get offended when you call them "Omera".

Owuor in Luo means the dead of the night. Someone born at midnight would be called Owuor, Odiwuor, Oduor for males and Awuor for females- Luo Kenya. Otieno or Atienonis usually before midnight.

When numbers become too large, the Luos say "Tara". I think the phrase " Tara gi gana" is used to mean very many, parhaps infinite.

I'm from Uganda kitgum district thanks all Lou community allover they are

Nice

adwaro no of this guy

respect big bro, you are doing the work, this is amazing

I'm luo for kitgum i love all the Lou community

The Luo of Kenya is loosing it

I believe that their grand father okumu was tired and was met by ateso woman and married there nad died there, after time the japs went to check their bro and found okumu emam😂 coz u cant be assimilated into a community to that extent that none ov u can trace yo original mother tongue, u identify as ateker but their language is not traditionally yo language

Too much noise from the background.

By the way, can you do something about the Chope Luo in Bweyake, Uganda? I have tried to learn about them for the past 5 years but no one, not even the Luos, seems to know much about them. Opinion is also divided in whether they are Luo who adopted Bantu Culture or the other way round, or if they're an amalgam of the two.

I really admire the great job you're doing and I hope one day you will put it all into a book or a series of books. Assimilation has got nothing to do with weakness of the assimilated tribe. The reasons for assimilation could be varied, as you have demonstrated. Among my Iteso people there is a clan called Ikomolo, literally translated as "Omolo's people. ' As a clan, there are many things that the Ikomolo clan do that are every un-Teso-like. Different totems and practices. However, there is no doubt as to their 'Tesoness.' It is said that they are remnants of the Jok Omolo sub group of Luo as they immigrated into Kenya and Tanzania, who stayed behind and adopted Teso culture.

Welcome in daresalam koni. Jaluo wathoth.

What of " dier odiewuor " for midnight?

Any Kenyan luo here or it's just me

This is great brother.

Wow I should bring my kids to see how kumam dance they always ask me about kumam dance.

I also believe the Kumam are Luo. This is coz we share very many words with Acholi, Langi, Jophadola etc

Mr. Erayu was my Hm kaberamaido T/S in 1990 to 1996 he is a true kumam. Cong mM

Great 👍 luos,please unite you have the brains,come together and make some changes in Africa.

KP aneni ka I smile kowach Nyamo...🤣🤣🤣🤣

Its absolutely wrong that history it was created by not Lou. As Lou did left a written histories now we pick up lies of others which for they benefit and distorted Lou.
