taŋkoro

What does “taŋkoro” mean in Dagbani?

false yam Icacina senegalensis A. Juss. or I. oliviformis ? Its presence is regarded as a good indicator for the successful yam cultivation, although the tuber is not eaten as it is elsewhere in Africa.

Also spelled Dagbanli — both spellings refer to the same Mabia (Gur) language spoken in northern Ghana.
