ishkwaa-

== Ojibwe == === Initial === ishkwaa- (root) over, finished after the end ==== Derived terms ==== ishkwaajanokii-giizhigad (“be Saturday”) === Preverb === ishkwaa- after being done, over ==== Usage notes ==== According to Brendan Fairbanks' "The Ojibwe Changed Conjunct Verb as Completive Aspect", L2 speakers of Ojibwe sometimes overuse this preverb when meaning 'after'. The changed conjunct should be used with telic verbs to indicate something else happened at completion, whereas ishkwaa- should be used with atelic verbs to indicate something happened afterwards. Fairbanks gives the example of "Gaa-ojiimaad, gaa-izhi-ginjiba’iwed.", meaning "After she kissed him, she ran away." ==== Derived terms ==== ishkwaa-anamaʼe-giizhigad (“be Monday”) ishkwaa-naawakwe (“be afternoon”) ==== Related terms ==== ishk- (“tired of”) ishkw- (“left over”) ishkwaaj (“last”) ishkwe- (“at the end, last”) === See also === gabe- (“all the way, to the end”) wayekwaa- (“at the end”) === References === The Ojibwe People's Dictionary https://ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/word-part/ishkwaa-initial The Ojibwe People's Dictionary https://ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/main-entry/ishkwaa-pv-lex
