Clan
Arochukwu
Also recorded as Arochuku, Aro
Arochukwu is the head clan of the Aro, in Arochukwu local government area of Abia State. Its nineteen towns are what the Aro tribe's name grew from, and its oracle, the Long Juju of Chukwu Abiama, is what made the Aro a power across the south-east for two centuries.

One database serves all three sites. The clan register is published here, so a clan or a town is a page in Ozikoro; the language records — the name register and the language entries — stay in Ozituma, which is the language layer.
