What is Yoruba traditional cultural view towards women who birth several daughters

I am curious and have questions for the group regarding a practice within Yoruba culture. I remember as a girl a woman in our neighborhood who was married and had 11 daughters!




1. What is Yoruba traditional cultural view towards women who birth several daughters?

2. Is there a special name for women who birth only girls?

3. Are there any Odu that talk about this?

4. Do their daughter belong to a special Egbe in Yoruba society?

All views are welcome.
