-á'eh   vta. generously give to s.o., grace s.o., thank you. This word is rich in meaning. It refers to meeting a real need of another, being generous and thoughtful to meet that need, for example, bringing a load of wood for someone when their wood is almost gone and it is cold weather, or giving that person a warm blanket on a cold day. The action produces a sense of gratefulness in the recipient. In verbs where the second person acts on the first person verbs, this has come to be the "traditional" Cheyenne way of expressing thanks--that is, the speaker is telling the hearer that they have met a real need. The commonly used word "hahoo" for 'thank you' is considered an inter-tribal word, not the "real" Cheyenne way of saying thank you. Some speakers point out that hahóo is said for relatively trivial things like thanking someone for passing you the salt at a meal. Nea'eše has tradionally be used for deeper thanks.

This verb stem illustrates that there are two main "dialects" with regard to how high pitches on obviated verbs are treated by Cheyenne speakers. With verbs having a proximate third person subject and an obviated third person object, the older style is to cause a phonemic high pitch on the last syllable of the stem to drop to a low pitch when adding the direct voice obviation marker /o/. Among newer pronunciation, the newer strategy is to regularize such verb stems to follow the same pattern as verb stems having a phonemic low pitch on the last syllable of the stem, and add the longer direct voice obviative suffix /oha/, and maintain the underlying phonemic high pitches as phonetic high pitches. We call this newer obviation pattern Obviation Regularization (abbreviated as OR). Some older speakers are sufficiently accustomed to the older un-regularized obviation pattern for stems ending in a phonemic high pitch that they will insist that the OR pattern is "incorrect". Some other verbs stems which illustrate these two obviation pitch contours are: -moat' love s.o.' (older speakers: é-meo'o 'he loves him', newer pronunciation: é-méhótóho); -mév 'eat s.o.' (older speakers: é-mevo 'he ate him', newer pronunciation é-mévóho); -vovóhnėhešéh 'take care of s.o.' (older speakers: é-vovóhnėhešeho 'he took care of him', newer pronunciation: é-vovóhnėhešéhóho), and -asénoót 'sing an honor song to s.o.' (older speakers: é-asénooto 'he sang an honor song to him', newer pronunciation: é-asénoótóho). Intransitive verb stems ending in a phonemic high pitch can also experience the "dialectal" differences in pitch contours when taking an obviated subject. Some examples are: -méó'é 'fight', -háóéná, and -mó'é 'invite to a feast'. With these intransitive stems there can be from one to four pitch and suffix variants among older speakers when they utter an obviated verb. And nouns with a phonemic high pitch preceding an obviative suffix experience the two main dialectal pitch contours, also: for example, šé'še 'duck', še'xo 'duck (obv.; older speakers), šé'xóho 'duck (obv.; younger speakers); pe'e 'nighthawk', pe'o 'nighthawk (obv.; older speakers), pé'óho 'nighthawk (obv.; newer pronunciation).
