Okù (Ìjẹ̀bú god of wealth) did not waste its affection (on this child). [verification needed]
Àwọn àlàyé mìíràn
The verb kẹ́nù means "to waste ones affection or care," often used in reference to an àbíkù child, who, despite all of the care its parents give it, still dies. This name thus may suggest that because the child did not die, the deity Okù did not waste its care or affection on the child.
