When they looked down into the water, sometimes they saw a sturgeon. Then they speared the sturgeon. Once, one guy was heard saying: “Oo, look at how this sturgeon looks! He has horns like a moose, he has horns like him. [2] So they all came in their canoes to see how he looked. “It really does have horns!” they said. “So it’s a sacred sturgeon!” [3] So then they smoked, and put tobacco on the water. After they smoked they went their separate ways.[4] Then another canoe of people went out, and again they saw him. Then, taking his spear, the man speared the sturgeon. [5] After he brought it up from the water, he saw a bald eagle clinging to the sturgeon’s head. Then all the people had a big laugh.

    S01 E09 B-Form Singular and Plural

    S01 E09 B-Form Singular and PluralB-form or Dependent form (also known as Conjunct) is a useful way in Ojibwe to make more complex ideas, where one word in your sentence is dependent on something else to make a complete thought. This is achieved in VII’s by either getting rid of the d at the end of the verb, or adding a g. Note that this is the same for singular and plural.So: Aabadad: Aabadad+k Aabadak: When/as it is used… Zoogipon: Zoogipon+g Zoogipong: When it is snowing…Gisinaa: Gisinaa+g Gisinaag: When it is cold…Refresher words:Gisinaa vii: It is coldAte vii: It is in a certain placeNoondaagwad vii it is heardGimiwan vii it is rainingAwanibiisaa vii It is SprinklingAgoode vii: It is hangingWaaseyaa: vii It is sunnyMichaa: vii It is big.Giizhiitaa: vii it is done, it is readyOnizhishin: vii it is niceWese’an: vii There is a tornadoNoodin: vii It is windyGashkawan: vii there is a thick fogBiinad: vii it is cleanNiiskaadad: vii there is bad weatherMinose: vii it goes well, it is good luckBaswewe: vii it echoesMinopogwad: vii it tastes goodGikendaagwad: vii it is knownMinomaagwad: vii It smells GoodAanakwad: vii it is cloudyZoogipo: vii it is snowingMizhakwad: vii the sky is clearAabawaa: vii it is warm weatherNew Words this week:Aabadad: vii it is usedMaajiitaamagad: vii it startsBangan: vii it is peaceful ,it is tranquilZanagad: vii it is difficultBadakide: vii it is planted, it is placed in the ground, it stands up from a surface.Quiz:Aaniin ekidong Gisinaag daa-zoogipo Zhaaganashiimowin?
