Ewe word for 'snake', as in Westermann's examples 'da tu adi de ame nu' (the snake spits poison at a person). Among the Fon of Benin the python is a primary divinity, Dangbé, whose cult centre is Ouidah; the Encyclopedia of African Religion records its devotees as Dangbési. Whether the sheet's 'Da' means the generic word or a specific serpent vodu should be checked.
In Ewe, da is the general word for snake.
