Orí òde / Orí apádi

Outer physical head — visible head zone

Orí òde, also shown here with the requested Orí apádi wording, names the outer or physical head in contrast with Orí inú. The point sits on the visible head surface so the rendering can show the paired outer/interior vocabulary; the pairing and the surface coordinate should not be read as a surgical anatomical claim.
