hóoma1   na. blanket, shawl, robe. This word, and its homonym, hóoma 'mosquito', uniquely has phonetic (non-phonemic) glottalization. Although W. Leman and other fieldworkers have transcribed 'blanket' as hóoma, the high pitch may not be a completely high pitch; the second /o/ has glottalization, such that one Cheyenne elder, who was quite literate with the present orthography, independently transcribed the singular as hoo'ma but the plural as hoomaho. This glottalization is not a complete glottal stop as found on other words, but a glottal coloring, a sharp drop in the clear vocalization of the /o/ and a drop off in pitch; rather than being a sharp, full glottal stop, the glottalization sounds more like "scratchiness." Variant: hóema. Hoema is historically expected, but most speakers pronounce and prefer spelling this word as hooma. But the following word, which ends with "oema", clearly is pronounced with "oe": tó'ėstó'ėšévoema fringed shawl. Plural hoomaho; Obviative hoomaho; Possessive -htóome; Oblique hoomȧhéva (at the) finish line; Homonym hóoma2 mosquito. Phon: iah vai: -hestooma have a blanket.
