The name Bomakwodor comes from the words "bòmá kwɔ́dɔ́" in Dzuma, meaning "tall barrier". Bomakwodor used to be the name of the capital before the rule of Bayin Kabo, wherein the city was renamed as Bayingan, after Bayin himself.
History
Early Bomakwodor
Before the kingdom was founded, the Dzuma people of southeastern Nkungu had many city-states throughout the area, though most of which were invaded and conquered by the Bosso Empire under Mbɔ̀lų̀ Akpàlą̀kɔwu II. After the collapse of the empire, these city-states began to reemerge and eventually form small confederations. Bomakwodor then was the largest of four states within a small confederation on the coast of eastern Nkungu. Around the 33rd century CY, the legendary chief of the Bomakwodor city-state, Jaa Abodaleh Odzundileh, with his army – exonymously called the Okemforleh-nleh – had formed a large network of city-states from which he extorted tribute, therefore forming a large informal tribute empire.
