jakewīren

the feeling one gets when one has had something added to one’s responsibilities; this can be a good feeling when one wants those responsibilities, or a bad feeling, when one is feeling burdened or overwhelmed. Sometimes jakewīren means both simultaneously – so the pride one has in one’s responsibilities plus the feeling of having too much to do, or stressed by one’s workload while also feeling good about how much one can handle.

makāñīñ

makaanjiinj

makāñīñ

one’s paternal nieces, nephews, anyone of a younger generation related to one’s father. The green squares (squares can be either gender) as related to the purple square in the diagram:

kaanjinj

makāña

makaanja

makāña

a cousin that is not within the clan, a child of one’s paternal relations. So, all the green circles and triangles are the purple square’s makāñi:

kaanja

makāe

makaae

makāe

one’s sister, brother, cousin, sibling or cousin of the opposite gender as oneself. [Plural makāji.]

So, if one is female (purple circle):

female-kaae

then all the green triangles are one’s makāji. Likewise, if one is male (purple triangle):

male-kaae

then all the green circles are one’s makāji.

makīri

makiiri

makīri

one’s kin, the people to whom one is related to by matrilineal descent. In the picture below, the two colors are two separate clans, and so two separate sets of makīri.

kiē, rājakiē, & rūjakiē

kiee

kiē

The modifier kiē refers to the observer’s other side of something, so something behind something else. This makes kiē partially synonymous with īr. The difference is that kiē refers to the observer’s position, and īr does not. If something has an obvious back, then use īr, otherwise use kiē. So, NP kiē is to the other side of NP and NP kiē is from the other side of NP.

raajakiee

rājakiē

rājakiē is NP kiē without a specified location, and so means ‘to the other side’.

ruujakiee

rūjakiē

Likewise rūjakiē is NP kiē without a specified location, and so means ‘from the other side’.

jakūrse

jakuurse

jakūrse

a wave, a waving gesture

This is classed with expressions, and thus can be possessed. However, it also counts as communication.

temme jakūrse;
‘She gave him a wave.’ or ‘She waved at him.’
