Nkọwa okwu — the Igbo API dictionary
8,154 entries from the open Igbo API (Nkọwa okwu), Apache-2.0. Tier 3 — a second attested source, kept alongside the curated Ọ̀nìchà lexicon rather than merged into it. 1,379 entries carry example sentences. The alphabet is the Igbo alphabet: digraphs and dotted vowels are letters in their own right.

Two dictionaries, side by side
This is a distinct source from the Dictionary of Ọ̀nìchà Igbo (Williamson & Blench). Where they agree, attestation is stronger; where they differ, both readings are preserved. Neither overwrites the Forge's ratified coinages. Built from the community-maintained Igbo API and credited on the about page.
