    • December 6, 2022, Elizabeth Ogunmowo, “Ǹjẹ́ fífi òwú sí àwùjẹ̀ ọmọdé lè dẹ́kun èsúkè? [Does putting a strand of wool on a baby's head stop hiccups?]”, in Dubawa:
      Bó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọ̀nà ni a lè gbà dẹ́kun èsúkè, fífi òwú sí àwùjẹ̀ ọmọdé tàbí orí ẹnikẹ́ni kì í ṣe ìkan lára rẹ̀.
      Although there are many ways to stop hiccups, putting string on a baby's fontanelle or anyone's head is not one of them.
