Notes
Found in the word for "dam", 'ehaa tuupitt or 'ehaa tepitt.
Compare to aapitt (achepiitt) "covers it up", chepitt. (chechepiitt) "covers several things, covers it with a soft object", and uutepitt (uutetepiitt) "covers an object".
Recording is slightly unnatural: The stress should be on the last syllable, as in most Kumeyaay words, though the speaker may have been emphasizing the first syllable in this recording.
