aanümü

Ye'kwana

Variant orthographies
ALIV	aanümü
Brazilian standard	aanömö
New Tribes	aanömö

Etymology

Perhaps from öt- (verbalizer) +‎ anümü (“to scoop up”); if so, then this word would be expected to be agentive rather than patientive, so it may be that either this etymology or the patientive assignment of the verb is wrong.

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): [aːnɨmɨ]

Verb

aanümü

(intransitive, patientive) to stand up
