User comment on a homographic equivalent: Ayẹ́kẹ́: "I just heard from a reliable source that it's actually Ayẹ́kẹ́ not Ayékẹ. I really have no idea what that means but I remember growing up, we used to call people with bowlegs Ayẹ́kẹ́. I'm assuming that was just his nickname." (Received on February 28, 2017)
