ö'kö'de

== Ye'kwana == === Alternative forms === ö'köde (Brazil) === Etymology === From öjö (irregular alteration of ejö) +‎ -kö (imperative suffix) +‎ -'de (delayed suffix); unlike other imperatives, this form is lexicalized with -'de attached and never appears without it, and, when a delayed imperative is meant, a second -'de must be suffixed to the word. For the initial vowel in the irregular root form *öjö, compare Trió ëepï, Panare ëpï. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [əʔkəʔde] === Verb === ö'kö'de singular imperative of ejö (“to come”) === References === Cáceres, Natalia (2011), “ö'kö'de”, in Grammaire Fonctionnelle-Typologique du Ye’kwana‎[1], Lyon, pages 161, 230–231 Costa, Isabella Coutinho; Silva, Marcelo Costa da; Rodrigues, Edmilson Magalhães (2021), “ä'käde”, in Portal Japiim: Dicionário Ye'kwana‎[2], Museu do Índio/FUNAI Hall, Katherine Lee (1988), “ö'kö:de”, in The morphosyntax of discourse in De'kwana Carib, volumes I and II, Saint Louis, Missouri: PhD Thesis, Washington University
