tekëneipën

== Unami == === Etymology === From tèkëne (“forest”) +‎ -ipën (“potato”). === Noun === tekëneipën anim (plural tekëneipënàk) groundnut plant (Apios americana) ==== Usage notes ==== While the Lenape Talking Dictionary lists this noun's animacy as inanimate, it utilizes an animate suffix in the plural. Generally, nuts are not animate; but since this refers to the plant itself, not necessarily the product of said plant, it is animate. === References === Rementer, Jim with Pearson, Bruce L.
