I know that lati is used between complex verbs and used to mean "from" in some cases, but what are the other rules around using lati
In the corrections of my hw you changed "Mo ni lọ"( me trying to say I have to go" to Mo lati lọ"

my second question is
I see that
owo osi (left hand)
owo otun (right hand)

but in an Ifa context, to say right or left hand in ifa would it be owo osi n'ifa and owo otun n'ifa?

In the homework it was changed to Mo ní láti lọ
láti can be used like "from" and "in order to"
Mo wá láti Òṣogbo - I came from Òṣogbo
Mo ń lọ láti rí ìyá mi - I'm going in order to see my mother
when used with ní it is used like "to have to" mo ní láti lọ - I have to go

Ọwọ́ òsì - left hand
Ọwọ́ ọ̀tún - right hand
