Usage notes
Ago renders a sense of doing or making which is continuative or behavioral. For a sense of a specific instance or occasion of doing or making, see facio. For a sense of doing or making which is yet more continuative, see agito and gero.
According to Döderlein, another difference between ago and facio when they mean "make" is that ago typically has to do with making something that does not continue after the "actor" stops doing the action; whereas with facio, the object continues to exist after the maker has made the thing. In other words, ago is temporal, whereas facio is spatial.

Etymology 2
Compare with Olukumiagó, Itsekiriẹgó, Igalaàgó, Ayereúgó(“navel”). Proposed to be derived from Proto-Yoruba*à-gó, from Proto-Edekiri*à-gó, ultimately from Proto-Yoruboid*à-gó. It is unclear if this word was used in Standard Yoruba as there are few texts that cite its existence in Standard Yoruba. It is possible that the word had become long obsolete in Standard Yoruba.
