Notes

Hellyaa "the moon"

Wesaaw (wesuw) "eats"

Mesa Grande dictionary: "lit. he (Coyote) ate up the moon."

Note that hellyaa is the object of the verb, not the subject, as it is in bare form and not marked with the nominative suffix -ch. Hellyaa is being eaten, it is not the hellyaa eating anything.
