Gwagha

Gwagha is a word primarily used in the Igbo language of Nigeria. It roughly translates to "claw" or "talon." The term typically refers to the sharp, curved nails found on the feet or hands of animals, particularly birds of prey like eagles, hawks, and vultures. It can also be used, less commonly, to describe long or unusually shaped fingernails on humans, often with a negative connotation implying sharpness or untidiness. Figuratively, "gwagha" can sometimes represent something that grasps or holds onto something tightly.
