Ifa did not lose this.

The spelling of this name often confuses the listener as to what it actually means. Writing conventions usually prevent the doubling of vowels, or the name would have been written as "Fáàsọ̀yínù", which is what it actually breaks down as. Writing it as "Fásọ̀yínù" misleads one to think of the meaning as "Ifá lost or threw this away."
