Nóáhe₁   Giver, Providence, God. translation uncertain; Petter (dictionary, p. 714) glosses it as 'Munificence, personified deified Providence'; on p. 870 Petter glosses it as 'the providing deity'. Usage: archaic translation uncertain; Petter (dictionary, p. 714) glosses it as 'Munificence, personified deified Providence'; on p. 870 Petter glosses it as 'the providing deity'.

-nȯhtsėstov   vta. ask s.o., question s.o. Variant: -nėstov. Usage: Many speakers in the early 21st century pronounce this as -nėstov. Older speakers in the 1970s and 1980s still pronounced this as -nȯhtsėstov. Petter wrote 'I questioned him' as nanōztovo in his dictionary, page 879. Petter's transcription corresponds to the current spelling of nánȯhtsėstóvo 'I questioned him.' The Cheyenne language has two separate verbs for 'question', with different meanings. Some speakers, perhaps especially younger ones, tend to use this verb,-nȯhtsėstov, for both meanings. (This may be some interference from English which has only a single verb "ask".) This Cheyenne verb 'ask' means ' to question s.o.'. The other 'ask' verb, -véestomev, means 'to ask s.o. for something'. For example, when Cheyenne pray, they often say, "Ma'hēō'o, névéestomevȧtse...", 'God, I ask you for...'. É-nȯhtsėstovóho. He asked him. Naa vo'ėstanóho móh-nȯhtsėstovȯhevóhe tséohkeévėhešévėstóvetseéme'hešena'hėstse nā'ėstse hóma'e. And he asked somebody what to do to kill a beaver.
