► 2 The word ʔáʔyəŋ is often pronounced ʔáʔiŋ and is sometimes spelled that way. There are some speakers who always pronounce it ʔáʔiŋ.
► 3 The word t̓úk̓ʷ means ‘go home,’ ‘come home,’ or more generally ‘move toward home.’ č̓áŋ̓ means ‘arrive home’ or ‘get home.’
► 4 Just as with the ‘go’ and ‘come’ words shown in §23.1, these words are often accompanied by hiyáʔ ‘go’ and ʔənʔá ‘come.’
► 5 The third pair in the models is really the same pattern as shown in §23.1. The word ʔaʔáʔyəŋ is the word ‘house,’ ʔáʔyəŋ, with the ʔaʔ‑ ‘be at’ prefix. So the whole word means ‘be at home.’ (Note that, as usual, ʔʔ becomes just one glottal stop, ʔ.)
► 6 There are actually two meanings for the word ʔaʔáʔyəŋ. One meaning is ‘be at home,’ as we are using it in this section. Another meaning is ‘little house.’ When ʔaʔáʔyəŋ means ‘little house,’ the first ʔaʔ‑ is not the ‘be at’ prefix but the diminutive reduplication. This is covered in §55.1.
► 7 The word sqíyəŋ can mean ‘go outside’ or ‘come outside.’ č̓ə́yəxʷ can mean ‘go inside’ or ‘come inside.’
