Etymology

Suffixed with -nöjü (causative suffix). Presumably the preceding -na must be a suffix forming an intransitive patientive verb from a noun, as the constructions of the related words seedeta and ssedeje show that the root is a nominal stem.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [seɾ̠eːnamm̥ɨ]

Verb

sedenamjü

  1. (transitive) to dry
