Structure and Vocabulary
The structure of this phrase is as follows:
- lam – literally ‘to go’, but here used as a general preposition, mainly to hold the -exw ending (see next point).
- -exw – you (Usually you use chexw for you, but when talking about possibilities and ‘if’ situations, you use the shorter ending -exw.)
- kw’étslexw – to see
- te – the (this can also mean a; the language does not distinguish between a vs. the)
- sth’óqwi – fish (this is the noun form, referring to the thing)
