That the death of his father is a natural part of life.
Answer:

Explanation:
Achebe makes a strong use of Igbo words and expressions to create a new English and show how language and communication is a living organism, completely adaptable and innovative.
Igbo is one of the languages spoken in nigeria, which in itself is full of different adaptations, dialects and accents. Using this language together with the English language, the author questions the supremacy of the English language and raises the importance of other languages.
To finish the analogy there should be a synonym of homage such as: allegiance, loyalty, duty, tribute, deference, respect, honor. Any of these should work. Hope this helps.
