Gdi-nweninaa (Our
Voice - Our Sound)
Gdi-nweninaa
Gdi-nweninaa is a collection of Ojibway and Odawa words organized and
presented by themes. This type of organization was recommended to
Shirley by Aboriginal language students and teachers who wanted an easier
way to look up and learn the words in Nishnaabemwin. The themes are
grouped into five chapters:
Chapter One gives the words of the names
of birds, fish, insects, farm animals, forest animals, herbs, trees, plants
and flowers.
Chapter Two consists of Time and includes
measurement of time, division of days, sky world, months, commerce, counting
and weather.
Chapter Three is Relatives, along
with human anatomy, tasks, mental thoughts, illnesses, aboriginal regalia,
contemporary clothing, household belongings, kitchen utensils, foods, fruits
and berries, vegetables and meat.
Chapter Four gives the various aspects
of Community such as people, geography, holidays, chores, occupations and
public buildings.
Chapter Five consists of a
number of recreational activities such as games (toys and sports), camping,
musical instruments (traditional and contemporary), travel and hobbies.
The majority of the entries in the Gdi-nweninaa are nouns.
Both animate and inanimate nouns are listed and each entry is extended
to show the prefixes and suffixes that are used to create the possessive,
plural, locative, pejorative, dubitive and preterit forms of the words.
Some verbs are also listed.
