The concept of Ogun as the embodiment of iron and hunting likely dates to the Iron Age and is thus present in most religious/spiritual practices of Volta-Niger and Benue-Congo speaking peoples. Two groups of cognates exist. The first ones are those in which this spirit is personified as a deity and becoming a proper noun, see bin Ogun and fon Gu. However, other cognates maintain the noun form of this word as simply the energy or spirit associated with killing, see igl ògwú killer instinct, idu ògwú honor given to a successful hunter or warrior; display of behavior when someone has killed a large animal, or possibly ig òdogwu mighty hunter. The root term alv-yrd-pro *gwṹ could be cognate with Volta-Niger language terms for "kill," see ig ògbú killer or perhaps ig nwụ to kill, alv-edo-pro *ghu, nup wu, ibb woot, ak wu, kcq yu. This is likely especially since igl égwú means "corpse," and the term also greatly resembles the verb to die in Yorùbá, yo kú. Likely a yo Egúngún, referring to deified ancestors and veneration of the dead, see yo alv-yrd-pro *É-gwṹ.
