• Clemens Voorhoeve (1982) The Makian languages and their neighbours‎, Pacific linguistics (as edé)

The etymology is unknown. This term seems restricted to the core Yoruba-language group of Yoruboid, with the other Yoruboid languages (Ede, Olukumi, and Itsekiri) having other terms for language. Many other Yoruba-dialects also have different terms for the language, see eréùn in Ijebu, thus suggesting this to be a newer innovation, from è- +‎ dè, though no known root related to dè has an association with mouth, tongue, or speech
