Etym: *wetempi 'his brain'. nl (Nasal Lengthening): note correspondence of Cheyenne high-pitch to PA vowel +nasal in a consonant cluster; in historical development something like compensatory lengthening (with usual Ch reflex of high pitch from PA vowel length) took place in Cheyenne prehistory as the nasal was deleted; such compensatory lengthening also took place in: hése- 'because' < *wenci; nȧ-htsénota(h) 'my cross-nephew' <*ne0enkwa0ehsa; mȧ-htseno 'armpit' < *me0enkwi; hoóxe'e 'lodgepole' <apanšwiyi; -óht 'by mouth' < *-ant; mȧ-htatamoo'o 'shoulder' (/-htatamóon/) <mete0emankani; na-éstoo'o 'my throat' (/na-éhtoon/) < *nekwenta·kani; /é-šéešená/ é-šééše 'he is lying prone' < *šenkihšinwa. The high pitch of 'weasel 'xáa'e (/šáeh/) < šenkwehsa may reflect this compensatory lengthening, however there is question about whether or not the pertinent high pitch is permanent or not(?). Note the possible correspondence of mó'kėsá'e or mónėškėhéso 'calf' <maxkwehsehsa 'fawn'; šéstótó'e 'pine' (probably includes -ó'e 'wood (med.)') <*šenta . mȧ-htovoo'ȯtse 'ear' < *mehtawakayi may follow this pattern, perhapsby analogy. Similarly, mȧ-htsé'oo'o 'elbow' < *metweškwani; ná-mé'óvo 'Ifound him' < *neme0kawa·wa. (Some of these forms may have undergone a stage where the consonant cluster had an initial nasal.?) (Why did hestom- 'hinder' <*wentam- not undergo the compensatory lengthening?) (correspondence first notedby I. Goddard; see description in Goddard 1988.) Category: meat, body.
