Etymology

[edit]

ʼa- (away) + -y- (3rd person object prefix) + ∅- (3rd person subject prefix) + -ł- (classifier, causative)-máás (imperfective stem of root -MÁÁZ, “to roll”).

The stem -máás (globular, spherical, ball-like shape) is cognate with -bą́ą́z (hooplike, ringlike shape), and they have the same origin, which possibly is Proto-Athabaskan *wątsʼ (roll)
