Variant orthographies
ALIV aanümü
Brazilian standard aanömö
New Tribes aanömö

Etymology edit

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 edit

Verb edit

aanümü

  1. (intransitive, patientive) to stand up
