In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, here’s some words

One of the roots for teacher is: -ajëönya:nih/ajëönyanih (a-stem)

Many times words that end in “anih” can be a:nih or anih:

Gajëönya:nih – I’m a teacher, I teach
Sajëönya:nih – you teach, are a teacher
Hajëönya:nih – male teacher
Yöjëönya:nih – female teacher
Wënöjëönyanih – women teachers
Hënöjëönyanih – male teachers or mixed group of teachers, they teach

Another one is:

Gajësdanih – I teach/coach
Sajësdanih – you teach/coach
Hajësdanih – he teaches/coaches
Yöjësdanih – she teaches/coaches
Hënöjësda:nih – teachers/coaches
Ögyësdanih – she teaches me/my teacher
Ökiyësda:nih – she teaches us/our teacher
Esayësa:nih – she teaches you/your teacher (also ösayësda:nih)
Hagyësdanih – he teaches me/my teacher
Shögwayësda:nih – he teaches us/our teacher
Yayësdanih – he teaches you/your teacher

There’s more words, and more things you can add. More ways to spell too.

Yeyëöh ëyöjëönyë’ – she knows how to teach (~she’s a good teacher)
Hayëöh ëöjëönyë’ – he knows how to teach (~he’s a good teacher)
