Ishoʻu ʻOhu/Lexicon
From AkanaWiki
This is a sample lexicon of Ishoʻu ʻOhu. It borrows heavily from the Isi Lukpanic dialect, particularly in areas pertaining to urban life and technology, and also from other nearby languages such as Ìletlégbàku and Šetâmol.
Many nominals in PCW were apparently of the "wrong" animacy. In most cases these nominals have changed to the more appropriate animacy, but it should be noted that many (though not all) body parts are considered animate, as are a few miscellaneous things such as water (zípe).
Part-of-speech abbreviations:
- n. alienably possessible nominal
- ip. inalienably possessible nominal
- coll. collective nominal
- a. animate
- i. inanimate
- v.i. intransitive verb
- v.m. monotransitive verb
- v.d. ditransitive verb
- pref. nominal prefix
- adv. adverb
- pp. postposition
- dis. discourse particle or conjunction
Language abbreviations:
- I.L. Isi Lukpanic
- Ìl. Ìletlégbàku
- Doa. Doayâu
- Šet. Šetâmol
- Iŋ. Iŋomœ́
- Etymologies with no language indicated are from Proto-Coastal-Western.
This lexicon is not completely up-to-date, and minor changes may still occur.
