neiʼeesh

Etymology

na- (atelic, circuital) + -y- (3rd person object prefix) + -Ø- (3rd person subject prefix) + -Ø- (classifier) + -ʼeesh (continuative imperfective stem of root -ʼEEZH, “to lead — 2+ objects”).

Verb

neiʼeesh

  1. he/she is leading them around
  2. he/she keeps them, has them (persons or animals under the subject's control)

Usage notes

The stem used for leading two or more objects is different from the stem used for leading only one object. For leading only one object, see neilóóz.
