Ofun Meji stands sixteenth and last in the sequence of principal odu as it is most commonly published, closing the set that Eji Ogbe opens.
Last position in an order of seniority is not a statement about importance in use. Every one of the sixteen is a full component of the system: each pairs with each to generate the two hundred fifty six figures the corpus is organised around, each appears as one half of thirty one compound figures as well as in its own matched form, and the apparatus does not weight one above another. The sequence governs teaching and comparison, not consequence.
It is also the part of the structure where published sources agree least. The head of the order is stable across the record; the tail is where regional and lineage usage diverges, and where a reader should expect to find different arrangements in different books. The atlas records the widely published position and states that it is the widely published position.
Ofun Meji is documented in the standard scholarship, chiefly Bascom in 1969 and Abimbola in 1976, as one of the sixteen, and the atlas is confident of that.
The verses standing under Ofun Meji, and the reading and prescription a diviner draws from it, are held within initiated practice and are not reproduced here.
