"Locust seeds"

What does the phrase "locust seeds" mean here? Couldn't say for sure, but I thought Soumbala was made from fermented néré seeds; I'm not sure what the English translation of néré would be, though. --Dvyost 8 July 2005 04:50 (UTC)

Parkia biglobosa has been given some English names, notably "African locust bean tree" (the term locust bean or seed would be derived from that), and also "African carob tree." Néré is a loan from Manding languages also used in English as well as some other European languages. --A12n (talk) 03:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name change to Sumbala?

Would it be more appropriate to use the spelling sumbala rather than soumbala for this article? The latter is simply the French spelling of a word in Manding languages. --A12n (talk) 03:46, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I requested a move per the above. --A12n (talk) 18:04, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with/from/to iru?

Should this article and that for iru (food) be merged? They describe the same condiment, though there are of course different names in different languages, and a range of styles or presentations across West Africa.--A12n (talk) 01:25, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ojji

In the list of names in various languages I changed "oji" to "ojji" and added Pular. I'm familiar with the term from Futa Jalon, but not sure if it is used in all varieties of Fula. The only Fula reference I have at hand that lists "ojji" (with this spelling, but not "oji") is G.V. Zoubko's 1980 Fula dictionary.--A12n (talk) 10:49, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
