ankeespen

ankēnnā

ankeennaa

ankēnnā

As an attribute, this means questioning, curious, interested, wondering, not necessarily about something specific. As an abstraction, this refers to curiosity and interest.

la sāen makēnnā;
“She is curious.”

ankēnnā can also refer to something experienced:

sema jakēnnā to jasēlki jatūi;
She is curious about flying machines.

The form becomes jakēnnā because it is the object of SE and so specifies a particular curiosity. This is something I have difficulty explaining. The stative form refers to an abstract concept. But one doesn’t experience an abstract concept, one experiences a feeling or some other specific thing. So, one cannot say sema ankēnnā where we would say that someone experiences curiosity, one has to make it specific and so one says sema jakēnnā.

jakeλēten

jakeljeeten

jakeλēten

a feeling that one needs to undo the effects of something that has been done. This is sort of like penitence, in that it has the idea that the person feeling this ought to perform some action to mitigate or undo a previous action; however, there is no particular authority or priesthood directing what actions one should take, nor is it necessary that the person feeling jakeλēten be the person who performed the action for which one feels penitent.

pa ankīrelil sāen þō sū jamāra jatāelle;
