		+
		+	=== Aku Furkoyian ===
		+	Aku Furkoyian arose after a schism among the Aku Biakor clergy circa 3857 CY, and was founded by former Aku Biakor priest [[Furkoyian of Kalankhor]]. The religion is very similar to Aku Biakor, as its doctrine is also based on ''Guduri Jàŋųrų Mōkṑrų Kų̀la'', paired with Furkoyian's teachings as comprised in the ''Guduri Mōkṑwi Fùrkɔ̀yąla''. The main doctrines of the religion include the belief that the traditional Bosso caste system is sacred as it is also a manifestation of Yajā Àṣìakɔ like the [[Seven Realms]] and the [[Eternal Hierarchy]], and that the eternal fire kept within Aku Kwabolu temples is the direct presence of Yajā Àṣìakɔ as it assumes a visible form to commune with human beings. Due to the first Aku Furkoyian temple being built in Kalankhor (modern-day [[Lakkor]], [[Afa]]), the ''ajų'' has a large presence in southern Afa especially among Nganka populations.
		+
		+	=== Aku Sakhakharun ===
		+	Aku Sakhakharun is an ''ajų'' founded by [[Sakha Ndakari-Wodami]] in 4558 CY. The traditionalist ''ajų'' focuses on keeping true to the Aku Kwabolu practiced before the rise of sects during the 32nd and 38th centuries CY. Aku Sakhakharun centers around venerating the gods, local spirits, and ancestor spirits rather than Yajā Àṣìakɔ. In Aka Sakhakharun, Yajā Àṣìakɔ is a distant being that does not commune with beings outside of Yajāmati, but rather sends forth the gods (who are created by it, rather than being part of it) to act on its behalf, and Biṣà to interact with human beings on behalf of the gods. For this reason, prayer is exclusive to Biṣà as the ''ajų'' believes that Biṣà is the only deity that will intercede. Keeping true to traditionalist ideals, Aku Sakhakharun does not have any main religious texts, but rather bases its doctrine on oral tradition and ritual recitations. The ''ajų'' regards ritual recitation as a sacred act and detrimental to being in good standing with the gods.
