níléidi

  1. over there

Usage notes[edit]

Níléidi is usually accompanied by pointing using the pooched lips. Pointing with the index finger is considered rude, and sometimes (depending on what is being pointed at) disrespectful on a spiritual level. People point at rainbows using the thumb, but most pointing is done by pooching the lips or using the whole hand.
