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 the 0/1 notation used in the scholarly literature, 1 here = 0 there and 2 here = 1 there.
The commentary prescribes ẹbọ to Orí, to Ifá and to Ògún for success and prosperity, and a further ẹbọ to Ògún and Èṣù specifically to remove the obstacle the odù says is blocking the person's ìre. The odù's own account is that the financial problems give way once the obstacle is dealt with, which is why the two offerings are distinguished rather than merged.
Ògúndá is Ògún's odù and the odù of iron: war, victory, masculine energy, and the clearing of a path — through forest, through obstruction, through a life. Its name is parsed as 'ogun dá', the iron that divides, and the tradition reads division as creation: to cut a road through bush is to make a road that was not there. It carries accomplishment, progress, growth and family, and it warns of disputes, violence and deceitful friends. Its people are creative, courageous and tireless, they build things that employ others, and their failure mode is stubbornness. What the odù asks is honesty, courage and honour — the code of the warrior and of the hunter.
