Adéṣọ̀kàn

Sísọ síta

Ìtumọọ Adéṣọ̀kàn

The crown [as a symbol of nobility] is not unified, i.e. cannot be monopolized. [See below for more explanation]

Àwọn àlàyé mìíràn

The obtainment of title is not only hereditary, which is perhaps another way of saying that no one is born to rule. In everyday usage, the sounding of this name loses some of the nuance in the original coining: Adéèṣọ̀kàn.
