Variant orthographies
ALIV aanümü
Brazilian standard aanömö

Etymology

Perhaps from öt- (verbalizer) +‎ anümü (“to scoop up”); if so, then this word would be expected to be agentive rather than patientive, so it may be that either this etymology or the patientive assignment of the verb is wrong.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [aːnɨmɨ]

Verb

aanümü

  1. (intransitive, patientive) to stand up
