1 = single line (I); 2 = double line (II). Eight marks: the first four are the right-hand leg, the last four the left-hand leg, each read top to bottom; in an amulu the two halves are different figures. In the 0/1 notation used in the scholarly literature, 1 here = 0 there and 2 here = 1 there.
The commentary prescribes ẹbọ to the egun for the fulfilment of destiny, a further ẹbọ so that a coming blessing is not outlived, and head work (borí) as a standing practice. Its ẹ̀wọ̀ are against greed and against promising what the person cannot deliver, and the verse's story is the one in which greed kills the elder brother who took the title and chased a butterfly out of the palace.
Ìrosùn-Ọ̀gbẹ̀ is the turning of the ancestor-facing odù toward the open road: destiny fulfilled by following the guidance of egun, and the road blocked by greed. Its verse is a story about inheritance and appetite — the elder brother who takes the title and then dies chasing something trivial — and the odù draws from it the plain teaching that adversity is certain and that how it is handled is what decides the outcome. It says the person is destined to become rich but that destiny is not assured to anyone, and that the person should be careful not to be greedy, not to boast of what they cannot do, and not to want a thing merely because someone else has it.
