Notes
Possibly "your father".
Described as the word for father "in the old language", implying the word is no longer in common use.
"men-" (sounds like min) here probably means "your". Many kinship terms start with ne-, which becomes men- when the second-person prefix "m" is added.
kwa'tay: "which is big, big one", from 'etay, "is big".
