Etymology
Cognate terms across Volta-Niger, the term has not changed from what could be its original form where, making it potentially possible to reconstruct the root all the way to Proto-Volta-Niger, (see Proto-Volta-Niger *-túrúkpà). Cognate with Igala Àtúnúkpà, Itsekiri Àtúkpà, ultimately derived from Proto-Yoruboid *À-túlúkpɔ̃̀, see there for more cognates.
