Component parts

[edit]

Can this word be broken into two component root words (naʼaʼeeł and -ígíí), even though it is written as one word? 71.66.97.228 03:41, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yes. nihił naʼaʼeeł = we are sailing about. —Stephen (Talk) 18:19, 10 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'm having trouble figuring out how nihił figures into this word, so I'll let you make the etymology for this one. 71.66.97.228 19:03, 10 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

nihił is just a pronoun, it doesn’t figure into the word. —Stephen (Talk) 19:23, 10 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
