inah

Mokilese

Etymology

Ultimately from {inh|mkj|map-pro|*ina|t=mother}}

Noun

inah (construct inen)

1. (one's) mother

Usage notes

Like many kinship terms in Mokilese, inah has no non-possessive form; the third person singular possessive form (one's/his/her/its mother) is therefore treated as the lemma.
