Usage notes
- Term used instead of dadda in marabout families.
- In the singular, kinship terms ending in -a or -i are assumed to refer to a first-person singular possessor when used without affixes; for example, baba (“my father”). To refer to another possessor, a specific set of bound pronouns must be used.
