Buying and Selling Word Search
1.   Print and see how many of these words you can find in the maze.
2.   Use the opportunity to also mark the right tones and diacritics on the words:
Owon (dear/expensive) = Zw<n          Iso (stall)                      = Ìsz   
3.   Remember, the words can variously be arranged: forward or backward; horizontal or vertical.
4.   Then see how many other Yorùbá words you can find and gloss.
