aakíí

Blackfoot

Etymology

From aakii- +‎ -i (non-referentional suffix)

Notes

The -i suffix is diluted in pronunciation and, therefore, orthography due to the last syllable of the stem already ending in an accented long /i/.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /aːkíː/
    • (Aamsskaapipikani, Aapatohsipikani, Kainai, Siksika) IPA(key): [àːkíː]

Noun

aakíí anim

  1. non-referentional of aakii-
