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
