Notes

Describes heading or facing a certain direction. Takes -lly "into" suffix on the object the subject is headed towards:

'Enyaaklly 'ekuuyum. "I am heading east."

'Ewiklly kuuyumch waam. "He headed west (lit. he turned west and went)."

Related to aayum "turns something that way, makes it go a certain direction".

Stress in this recording is unusual: we would expect the stress to be on the final syllable: kuu-YUM.
