hátseškeh na. 1 • ant. var: hátšeškeh. ss=hajesk. This is one of many words in Cheyenne which begin with the letter /h/ but which were vowel-initial in Proto-Algonquian. It is interesting to note that h-initialization in Cheyenne was in-process barely more than 100 years ago. Hayden (1862) and Petter (1915) cite some Ch. words (which have vowel-initial PA etyma) as having initial /h/ and some without. Hayden and Petter seem to have been careful enough in their transcriptions that we can assume that omission of an initial /h/ would not be accidental. All speakers whom W. Leman has worked with since 1971 now have complete h-initialization. Note the following from Hayden (1862), which all occur with initial /h/in the present corpus (Hayden's forms are retranscribed to the current orthography, for easier comparison): o'óhomo'eo'o 'Dakotas', otóhkėsono 'Little Stars, Ogallalas', oóxe'eo'hé'e 'Lodgepole Creek', otoa'e 'male buffalo', etohko 'dish', o'enóse 'tallweed', e'ama 'above'. Cf. Hayden's transcription of initial /h/ in hóma'e 'beaver', hótame 'dog', hoestȯtse 'dress', he'ohko 'pipe', ho'ēsta 'fire', ná-hesóva 'I hiccupped', hóoma 'mosquito', háhnoma 'bee' (H. glosses as 'horse-fly'), he'e 'liver', hē'e 'woman'. Similarly, note that Petter omitted initial /h/ in 'dog' and 'ant'. Category: check. Plural hátšėškeho; Obviative hátšėškeho. Category: bugs.

Heévȧhetane na. Southern Cheyenne, Oklahoma Cheyenne. Plural Heévȧhetaneo'o. Obviative Heévȧhetanóho. The origin of this name is debated. One suggestion is that this word was used because this band of Cheyennes were "roped in," remaining in Oklahoma when Cheyennes under the leadership of Little Wolf and Dull Knife fled north to Montana. It is more likely that the name referred to some characteristic of the southern band when the various bands were in closer proximity--perhaps a characteristic of dress. The name of this band often occurs in semantic opposition to (Notamé)ohmésėhese, the 'Northern Eaters', or 'Northern Cheyennes.'

Phon: This entry is one of several which often is transcribed as having a high pitch on the vowel immediately preceding the glottal stop ('). Some speakers, in some contexts, do seem to have a pitch value higher than the expected low pitch on such a vowel. Itis not a true phonemic high pitch, but rather a kind of phonetic (surface) pitch change,the raise occurring because of the greater throat constriction due to the following glottal stop. We are calling this phenomenon Glottal Raising (GR). Some other forms which sometimes experience GR (and hence will, in some transcriptions, have high pitches recorded) are: ma'xe- 'big', -hesta'amas 'wound s.o. by shooting', -oto'xovahe 'be capable', tsé-ó'hoésta 'cliff', -tsėheta'ovo'hamé (especially the first /a/) 'herd cattle',-nėhpo'an 'close s.t./s.o'.

hó'ótóva p. sometime, one day, once, someday, suddenly, out-of-the-blue; at once, once in a while. Sometimes has the meaning of 'suddenly, all of a sudden'. Variant: hó'étóva. Usage: Hó'ótóva is the more common pronunciation. Although classified here as a particle, it functions as an indefinite pronoun of time, semantically parallel with Cheyenne nevá'esėstse, hová'éhe, tósa'e, etc. This word can refer to a past time similar to English 'once upon a time', but more like 'one day', as establishing a time frame for a discourse segment. It does not seem to have the idea of 'once', as in a single instance, for which no'ka is used, instead. Hó'ótóva can also refer to future time, the precise time of which is not known. Instead of being close to English 'once upon a time' or 'one day', it seems to have more the meaning of 'out of the blue', as well as 'sometime' and 'someday'. Perhaps speakers vary in whether or not they allow this particle to have a past time reference function, as has English 'once upon a time.'. É'ȯhkėsáanȧho'ȯhtsévȯsesto.

2 • Beaver (constellation). the name of a constellation which appears at the beginning of Spring (1987:207) and disappears in the Fall. There are seven stars: four in the shape of a diamond and three in a vertical line (forming the Beaver's tail) some distance away from the diamond. Hóma'e éohkėhevoōne móhkeévamé'ȯhoehéhe tsėhe'xóvévaȯhto'sematsé'omévee'ėstse tsé'xóvevé'eévamé'ȯhoevȯse né=hotóhkeo'o.

The Beaver (constellation), they say, shows up at this time at the beginning of Spring when they appear. There's four stars and some distance away there's three (more) stars hanging, like there's seven of them that they talk about; it is also called "His Den" (constellation). (1987:207). Hóma'e ééšeéva-mé'ȯhoo'e. The Beaver (constellation) has swum into view (in the Spring). The following warning would be given to people, cautioning them to be alert to the dangers of winter blizzards: Háá'ėše nėstavé'ho'ȯhtséme. Étaéšėta'ȯhoo'e Hóma'e. Óohkenonéšeōhtsema'taamėhéemȯhonéstove. Don't go far from the camp. The Beaver (constellation) has swum out of sight (in the Fall). Go in pairs when you go hunting. A funny incident occurred many years ago when a Cheyenne man (OR) told a Cheyenne-speaking missionary (AH) that the Beaver had been spotted, indicating that Spring had arrived. Cheyennes enjoy telling this episode because it shows the miscommunication that occurred, the missionary thinking that the Cheyenne was referring to an animal beaver in the swollen creek nearby. Here is how their conversation went: OR: Hóma'e ééšeévamé'ȯhoo'e. AH: Héehe'e, naa tsetaonȧháxemémėstáne. OR: The Beaver has "swum" into view. AH: Yes, and he might drown. Phon: iah Etym: *ameθkwa.

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.

-htóve fii. impersonal verb suffix. Variant: -nove. Phon: Since many AI verbs have a stem-final /e/, this final often occurs as -stove This suffix may be complex, perhaps composed of the deverbal (nominalizer) suffix, -htȯtse /-htot/ (requiring the morpheme-final /t/ to be deleted in composition), plus the equative final -(e)ve. It is easy to show that deverbal nouns and impersonal verbs are both constructed from AI stems, and they appear to share the morpheme-initial/-hto/ sequence. This composite analysis for -htove is semantically plausible, with a composite meaning of something like 'there being such an entity'. Simple impersonals are II verbs. They are analyzed as having no notional (referential) subject, although they require the unmarked third person syntactic "subject" prefix é-. Éméhotȧhtsé-stove. There is love for one another. Émésėhé-stove. There is eating/it is a meal. Émané-stove. There is drinking. Some AI verbs, such as those with the he- 'have' preverb, can take this suffix: Éx-he-amȧho'hé-stove. He had a car.

htse-1 tns. future tense. Verbs marked with htse- are for action that occurs sooner than verbs with to'se 'going to'. Some speakers have emphasized that there is more certainty with to'se- that something will happen than with htse-. The -h of htse- is omitted with third person subjects. Also the third person prefix /é-/ does not occur with the future tense. The vowel of a pronominal prefix will be whispered before htse-. Otherwise that vowel is voiced and high pitched.

-ht... possessed and 'have' noun stem beginning letters. Nouns that begin with h-, such as hóoma 'blanket', have possessive stems beginning with -ht. The /h/ changes to [s] when preceded by /e/. Verbs with the 'have' preverb/he-/, similarly, take noun stems beginning with -ht immediately following the /h/independent and possessed noun forms, just as we attempt to indicate and label other important lexical relationships within the Cheyenne lexicon. For alphabetization, we omit the /he-/ of 'have' verb stems, but include it in the complete cited examples. hóoma (this independent noun appears as dictionary entry hóoma) blanket. nȧ-htóome (the possessed stem appears as dictionary entry -htóome) I have a blanket. nȧ-htona (the possessed stem appears as dictionary entry -htoná) my daughter. he-stónaho (even though the /h/ changes to [s] here, and in other animate nouns possessed by a third person, this form will appear under dictionary entry -htoná) She is my daughter; i.e. I have her as daughter.
