In Afa, Afo market day can be understood as Otule Ululu, the grounding of speech into real consequence. Otule represents cases, disputes, and arbitration through spoken testimony, while Ululu represents anchoring through land, body, and gravity. Together they explain why Afo, the earth-aligned market day, is associated with settling disputes and establishing binding agreements. This teaching shows that words carry authority only when they are rooted in responsibility and material accountability.
