Iheonukara
Iheonukara is a term of Igbo origin, a language spoken primarily in southeastern Nigeria. The word itself is a compound of three Igbo elements: "Ihe" meaning "thing" or "matter," "onu" meaning "mouth," and "kara" meaning "to be plentiful" or "to multiply." Therefore, Iheonukara literally translates to "things that multiply by mouth" or "matters that increase with speaking."
