Etymology
yi- (thematic) + -oo- (combining form of an unidentified yi- prefix) + ∅- (3rd person subject prefix) + -∅- (classifier) + -nééh (imperfective stem of root -NAH, “to forget”).
This verb appears to have two yi- prefixes of unidentified origin, contracting as yi-1 + yi-2 = yoo-. That there are actually two yi- prefixes is more clearly visible in the future:
- yi-1 + di-FUT + yi-2 + ee-FUT + sh-1sg + -nah = yidiyeeshnah.
Verb
yooznah
- (with baa) he/she forgot about it
