The coincidence of Benin and Japanese words is striking. Edo was the name of the capital city of Japan. It’s the capital city of Benin. The Japanese call water amę; so, does Benin. Japanese call dog ekita; so, does Benin. Japanese Emperor is king of the sky; Benin called their first dynasty of kings ogiso king of the sky. Japanese have names like Osato, Oyuki; so do the people of Benin. There are many more. The point is that Japan and Benin are too far apart racially and geographically for any links. Do we have scholars to research this? Just struck by it and I thought I should share.
