User comment: "May this might help with meaning: The news of a minor in line for succession was conveyed back to Benin. The order was summarily issued appointing Gabaro’s uncle, Akinsemoyin, to the throne until the infant heir was old enough for the throne. Thus, Akinsemoyin was crowned the fourth Eleko of Eko. Incidentally but significantly, there is a difference in meaning between the two versions of Akinsemoyin’s name. In the Benin version, Akinshinmoye or Akinseymoyin of this name meant that the older people of the family, being strong and wise even when he was young, should hold office. The Yoruba meaning is Ki Akin se fi owo mu oye na, bravery gladdens me."
