pááh: ceremonial word used as a blessing in some ceremonies, such as when a patient asks for a ceremony called ńtʼááshi (the darkening of the body of the patient). In the evening, three different plants are burned on a flat rock and crushed into fine powder. Then the powder is mixed with sheep fat and rolled into a ball. When the singing starts, the medicine man’s helper breaks up the tʼááshi and divides it among the people who are inside with the patient. The helper takes some ashes from the fireplace and gives each tʼááshi holder some ash. The ashes are placed in from of each person on the ground. The helper passes out a crow feather to each person. When the singing starts again, the participants place the ashes on the tip of the feather and hold it there until certain verses are sung and the medicine man raises his arms to the sky. That is when each person says pááh and blows the ashes off of the feather. It is repeated four times.
Other uses: our grandparents used to tell us to say pááh whenever we would see a shooting star. Also when there is lightning in a thunderstorm, as protection against being struck.

Señor, concédeme serenidad para

fortaleza para cambiar lo que soy capaz de cambiar
y sabiduría para entender la diferencia.
