hátseške na. 1 • ant. Variant: hátšeške; Simplified Spelling hajesk. This is one of many words in Cheyenne which begin with the letter /h/ but which were vowel-initial in Proto-Algonquian. It is interesting to note that h-initialization in Cheyenne was in-process barely more than 100 years ago. Hayden (1862) and Petter (1915) cite some Ch. words (which have vowel-initial PA etyma) as having initial /h/ and some without. Hayden and Petter seem to have been careful enough in their transcriptions that we can assume that omission of an initial /h/ would not be accidental. All speakers whom W. Leman has worked with since 1971 now have complete h-initialization. Note the following from Hayden (1862), which all occur with initial /h/in the present corpus (Hayden's forms are retranscribed to the current orthography, for easier comparison): o'óhomo'eo'o 'Dakotas', otóhkėsono 'Little Stars, Ogallalas', oóxe'eo'hé'e 'Lodgepole Creek', otoa'e 'male buffalo', etohko 'dish', o'enóse 'tallweed', e'ama 'above'. Cf. Hayden's transcription of initial /h/ in hóma'e 'beaver', hótame 'dog', hoestȯtse 'dress', he'ohko 'pipe', ho'ēsta 'fire', ná-hesóva 'I hiccupped', hóoma 'mosquito', háhnoma 'bee' (H. glosses as 'horse-fly'), he'e 'liver', hē'e 'woman'. Similarly, note that Petter omitted initial /h/ in 'dog' and 'ant'. Category: check. Plural hátšėškeho; Obviative hátšėškeho. Category: bugs.

They were assimilated into Cheyenne life and left their mark upon the way of life created by their union. Some families today trace their ancestry to Só'taeo'o origins.

Etym: *wi:ʔsahke·tya·hkwa ‘culture hero’; cf. C wi·sahke·ca·hk. aéstome-vé'ho'e literally, false-whiteman; an epithet used of Cheyenne Indians who don't have some of the traditional characteristics of Cheyennes; especially said of Cheyennes who don't talk Cheyenne (this term is often used to tease them or put them down). ó'xe-vé'ho'e half breed; literally, half-whiteman. tsėhése-vé'ho'e literally, Cheyenne-whiteman (extant?? How is this used??) [PD38: American (note that Petter also translates vé'ho'e as 'non-Indian')] vé'ho'e ésáavésėstánóvéhe nėhe'xóvéva évaveto The whiteman was not living (here) at that time in the past. [PD38: American (note that Petter also translates vé'ho'e as 'non-Indian')] That sentence illustrates that a singular may be used as a generic, as in English. Lexically, it can be shown from contrasts between words that vé'ho'e today "means "something like 'non-Indian', for example, ma'e-vé'ho'e 'German (literally, red-vé'ho'e)'. The word mo'ȯhtáe-ve'ho'e 'Negro (literally, black-vé'ho'e) is considered humorous by speakers because, to them, it initially sounds like a contradiction in terms, that is, black-whiteman. The term vé'ho'e, presumably in the 'non-Indian' sense is also extended to certain occupational roles which are today increasingly held by Indians, for example, matanaé-ve'ho'e 'policeman (literally, chest-vé'ho'e, perhaps so named because of the policeman's medal worn on the chest). The humor in apparent contradiction in the meaning of the term for 'policeman' is also pointed out by speakers. This relatively short word is one of the most important terms in the cultural, emotive scheme of Cheyenne life, and it can be seen from this discussion that it also has a very complicated semantic conceptualization, including historical development, semantic extension, folk reanalysis, and intense emotive associations. The preverb, vé'ho'é-, typically has the meaning of 'good, modern, top-quality', contrasting with ordinary, Indian things, which are sometimes viewed as inferior. See discussion under vé'ho'é-mȧhéó'o 'modern house' and vé'ho'évo'ha 'top quality horse'. There can also be strong pejorative connotations associated with terms for 'whiteman', for example, see discussion under ma'heóne-vé'ho'e. The verb é-vé'ho'éveotse 'he turned into a whiteman' is strongly negative in emotive association. The words for 'whiteman' and 'spider' are the same in two Plains Algonquian languages, Cheyenne and Arapaho. This homonymy is often discussed by Cheyenne speakers. Various folk etymologies are given by Cheyenne speakers to account for the use of vé'ho'e as the designation for the whiteman; the two most frequent folk etymologies are: (1a) The whiteman was given the same name as the spider because he fenced in the rangelands making it look like a spider's web. (1b)A variant of the folk etymology connecting the whiteman and the spider is that the whiteman was perceived as being intelligent and ingenious as the spider is said to be perceived by Cheyennes. (But many people question that Cheyennes perceive the spider as being particularly intelligent.) (2) Sweet Medicine predicted that a person (vo'ėstane) would come to the Cheyennes who would be wrapped up (tsevé'hoo'e 'he will be wrapped up'), in the whiteman's non-Indian clothing which entirely covers the body, not the looser, sparser traditional clothing of the Indian. According to one folk etymology, the word vé'ho'e 'whiteman', then, is a contraction of the verb stem which Sweet Medicine used, -vé'hoo'e. Historically, the word vé'ho'e descends by regular sound rules from the old Algonquian word for 'trickster' or 'culture hero'. The Algonquian trickster continues in Cheyenne folk tales today. Cheyenne stories frequently highlighted the trickster vé'ho'e long before the whiteman was ever encountered. Semantically, to native speakers, today, the word vé'ho'e almost always conjures up the meaning of 'whiteman', with various emotive connotations, ranging from stinginess, greed, prejudice, sneakiness, to prestige. (Many speakers are aware that the word also means 'spider', but this is not the first meaning that comes to mind when they hear the word vé'ho'e.)Although extant Cheyenne folk tales clearly indicate the historical nature of the meaning of 'trickster', this meaning seems to be never offered by native speakers today. When vé'ho'e stories are translated into English the trickster word vé'ho'e seems always to be translated as 'whiteman'. From a technical linguistic viewpoint, one would say that Cheyennes gave the Algonquian trickster term to the whiteman because the whiteman was perceived to have many of the qualities of the trickster. It is probably an accident of history that the word is homophonous with the term for 'spider'. The Cheyenne prophet, Motsé'eóeve (Sweet Medicine), told the Cheyennes of the coming of a person (vo'ės. person is going to come to you (plural). He will be all sewed up (enclosed in clothes), nowhere will he not be sewed up, this person who is going to come to you. He is going to destroy for you everything that you used to depend on, he is going to destroy everything....And this one who is going to come to you will take over all the land throughout the world. (1980:4-5) (It has been repeatedly pointed out that Sweet Medicine never said that the ve'ho'e was going to come to the Cheyennes. Likewise, it is pointed out, that he never said a vóhpė-hetane 'white man' would come to the Cheyennes. Instead, he simply said that a vo'ėstane 'person' was going to come to the Cheyennes.) This Algonquian 'culture hero' term is reflected in English by the phrase "Whiskey-Jack", which, to English ears, sounded close to the Algonquian word. See: ho'evȯtse; anonéhováhe; He'amavé'ho'e; mo'ȯhtáevé'ho'e.

2 • Whiteman. This has apparently been a longtime Cheyenne personal name.
