I recently discovered that Togbui Kumassah is distant a relation. I started following his works on RUclips about a year ago so I asked my mother if she knew anything about him and this is when I discovered this. I hail from Agbozume, Afegame.
PLEASE HOW DO WE RECONCILE YOUR INVESTIGATION RESULTS EXPLAINING ANLO AS WRITING TO EARLIER EXPLANATION BY SOME HISTORIANS AS WHAT TOGBUI WENYA SAID "MENLOH"
Great question. Eʋe words have more than one meaning. Meŋlɔ has two. 1) I have folded (can’t go any further) 2) I have written Both are the intended meanings in the Eʋe Exodus history. The Eʋe being the Biblical Israelites, made the Exodus out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses (Tɔgbui Ʋenya). The name of Ʋenya means 'Eʋe history'. According to our history, at some point during the Exodus, Tɔgbui Ʋenya said “Meŋlɔ”, meaning #1 Meŋlɔ Ʋenya (wrote the Eʋe History. Note that Moses is the author of the Hebrew histories that are the 5 books of Moses). And also meaning #2 'Meŋlɔ, nye ma teŋu aga yi o' I can nolonger continue the journey. And so Tɔgbui Ʋenya never made it to the promised land. This is when Moses fell from Grace and was not allowed by Mawugã YAH to continue the journey to the promised land. It is easy to see our history in Biblical history.
Great explanation!! If I may just add a little to your explanation sister Seyram, the meaning of words or diction of a word depends on it's pronunciation. The pronunciations of the word "Menlo" in the two scenarios you have described I believe are different.

Stop using the word Manlo lafia , aka Anlo and talk about the unity of the Ewes
How could you build unity without no foundation or knowledge of what we share in common - our roots?
