izhi

== Ojibwe == === Etymology === (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.) === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ɪʒɪ/ === Verb === izhi say so to h/, tell h/...; speak a certain way to h/ ==== Usage notes ==== The X-1s independent order form, indigoo, is often used to introduce oneself. (TODO: Are there any other contexts where this verb is used to state someone's name? Also, I have been reminded by a friend that the X-1s specifically is interpreted as "the spirits call me") ==== Conjugation ==== izhi is one of the few irregular verbs in Ojibwe. Generally speaking, iN- is the stem onto which inflections are added, but for the inverse theme -igw-, no verb stem is used. For example: odinaan - s/he says to him/her, but indig - s/he says to me has no verb stem and contains only ind- +‎ ∅ +‎ -igw-.
