Nubabla

Ewe · Ewe / Volta Region, Ghana; southern Togo · Concept

Nubabla (from bla nu, 'to bind something') means the act of binding, and by extension a bundle, an alliance or a covenant. Westermann glosses nubabla as 'binding; the bundle; the alliance, the covenant (Bund)', and gives examples of breaking an agreement (gble babla).

The two lineages renewed their nubabla with a libation.
