From the so-called Ire (uree) and Osogbos (ajeo).

It is well known that when the Ifá priests are performing divination with the
oracles determine the perspectives of danger that exist or do not, they are based on order
hierarchical structure of the Ifá odus.
It is necessary to clarify that like many other aspects related to religion, the ire and the
the Osogbos have undergone changes due to the process of transculturation, both in the way of
to be pronounced and written as in their meanings. This logically brings disorders when it comes to
mark in the course of divination any of them and obstacles occur in the
obtaining results.
Below is a list of the Iré and the osogbos respecting their original form in
Yoruba, It is not absolutely necessary for the Ifá priest to pronounce them in that language;

errors regarding the interpretation of the particles that compose this.
