Ȯhméseestse   vai. Ques: ppl Northern Cheyenne person. Lit: eater The word-initial oh- is a conjunct prefix; it is commonly used on proper names and on other conjunct verbs referring to action which takes place habitually; when the prefix is used on conjunct participles, the participle acts much like a regular noun; note that some of the following entries, for example, ȯhmésėhé'késo 'young Northern Cheyenne girl', even inflect like nouns (in this case, taking the noun diminutive suffix /-só/), not as the usual conjunct participles, which take conjunct (of the participle subclass) inflection. see discussion under -méseestse. Variant: Notaméohméseestse; Plural Ȯhmésėhese. Some popular spellings for the pl. have been Ohmeses or Ohmisis or some may even prefer to underdifferentiate the first syllable and spell the word as Moises. Each of these spellings does not allow one to tell that the first /s/ of the word is aspirated (because the root for 'eat' actually contains three phonemic syllables, -mésehe), but the popular spellings are acceptable for most non-technical writing and have the advantage of being easier to typeset and easier for the person who is not well-versed in the modern linguistic means of expressing aspirated ("complex") syllables of Cheyenne, an important part of the sound system of the language, but a feature which is so different from English literacy which most readers of Cheyenne are more familiar with. A common folk etymology given is that this historical Cheyenne band was called "Eaters" because they had plenty to eat, especially of buffalo. It may be that this etymology arose especially after half of the Cheyenne people took up residence in Oklahoma and they looked upon Cheyennes to the north as having access to the buffalo, which they, in the south, did not have. See: Ȯhmésėhéno; -mésehe ‘eat’. AltPl=Notaméohmésėhese Category: tribes.

Ȯhméseestse   Gram: ppl vai. 1 • Northern Cheyenne person. Lit: eater can be a proper name for a person (1987:170) as well as a tribal label; the plural of this term, often with the addition of the preverb for 'north', Notaméohmésėhese, is the term used when a distinction is desired to refer to those Cheyennes who preferred the northern part of the Plains area where the Cheyenne bands roamed; the group usually contrasted when such a distinction is made are the Heévȧhetaneo'o, which is now used for Cheyennes who live in Oklahoma. Ȯhméseestse is used mostly by Cheyennes in Oklahoma for Cheyennes in Montana. Cheyenne in Montana, as well as those in Oklahoma, prefer to simply refer to themselves as Tsétsėhéstȧhese (Tsitsistas).

-oh(n)   fta. by tool (or instrument). etymological note: This entry illustrates that Cheyenne /n/ can reflect an original PA *w. This straightforward statement is oversimplified and the reader should consult a more accurate discussion of the processes whereby the PA semivowels w and y are frequently ultimately reflected by Ch. /n/ (I. Goddard. 1988. Pre-Cheyenne y. In In Honor of Mary Haas. Berlin: Mouton.) Some other examples: notse /nóte/ 'alien' < pwa·0a 'Sioux'. Note the alternation between /'h/ and /'n/ in forms containing the stem 'three' (or 'eight' which is based on the stem for 'three'): na'he 'three of' < *ne'θwi vs. na'nohto 'eight of' < *ne'θwa·tahθwi. The Cheyenne /n/ appears, reflecting the affected PA w, when the /n/ is followed by a back vowel /o/. (See etymological discussion under entry ne- 'second person possessor'.) Nape'-ōhno. I broke him off by tool. Népo'-ohe. You broke me off by tool. Nápo'-ohe. He broke me off by tool. fti: -oh. Etym: *-ahw (TA final); *-ehwekwa 'he-(me/you) (by tool)' > Ch /-ohe/ (Go88).

-ohtsévót   vta. give bride gifts for s.o.; fall in love with s.o. It has been strongly emphasized that, contrary to some misunderstanding of this custom, as written in the literature, this is not the same as a "bride price"; the bride is not "bought". The favor of her family was attempted to be obtained through presentation of the bride gifts. The permission to marry the girl was given by her brothers; the girl had no say in the matter. It brought disgrace on the family if the girl refused to comply. Horses were especially given as bride gifts. The horses were tied up outside a distance away. If the brothers did not approve of their sister's suitor, they would not even go outside. After a reasonable amount of time, the suitor understands he is being rejected and takes his horses back. Usage: Occasional modern usage for 'fall in love with s.o.' is semantically derived and does not reflect the precise original meaning. Some speakers do not accept this modern usage of the term. Ques: Were the gifts returned if the brothers did not approve of the suitor?? Category: check. É-ohtsévoto. He gave "bride gifts" to her family get permission to marry her. É-ohtsévótóho.

Phon: hpo: High Push-Over is a process in which a phonemic high pitch is realized as a low pitch if it is preceded by a high and followed by a phonetic low. This is like a row of dominoes standing up in which the first domino remains standing but pushes over all dominoes standing next to it. High pitches on certain prefixes and preverbs do not trigger HPO. Some other examples of HPO are: né-háoenama /né-háóénáma/ 'we (incl.) prayed'; né-méhotone /né-méhótóne/ 'we(incl.) love him'; é-pėhévatamáno'e /é-pehévátamano'e/ (with iah)'it's a nice environment, pretty countryside'. This rule applies iteratively, until there are no other high pitches to push over. Phon: cf. contracted form /óóe-/ in Óoetane 'Crow' Morph: /ókóhke/. Non-diminutive Óoetane ‘Crow person’.

A horse usually goes to the bride's brother or whoever receives the gifts as part of the ceremony. The bride's parents furnish the food; they feed the groom's relatives that bring the bride gifts. When these gifts are given, the groom's spokesman will say something like this: "We have brought his (the bride's oldest brother) a horse and we have brought her sister gifts. The bride's spokeswoman responds, "Thank you, we accept the gifts..."Those who receive the bride gifts should return gifts one year later when the bride's family puts on the "return". A woman of the bride's family might pick out a shawl from the bride gifts(émonoomāne 'she picked out a shawl'). Some of the bride's party might say, "I'll just take money (so I won't have to give a tent in return next year)," in other words, so as not to obligate themselves too much for giving at the return. At the return(éto'seévanȯhóvahá'enéstove 'they are going to have a return'), a year later, when the groom's parents come to eat and get their tents, they bring along with them the ho'e'hanáhtotȯtse, things to "pay" for their meal; these things are distributed. If someone just shows up to eat at a wedding meal, either at the wedding or at the return, but they aren't related to either the groom's or bride's family, they are still allowed to eat.
