- [më:dë] ~ [më:ðë] 'this one' […] The mönö [sic] vs. mö'dö forms seem to reflect dialect variation as discussed under phonology (see Appendix A); the dialect alternant möðö is used by persons from upriver or head-water towns, and is considered the more traditional usage. While möñö is described by consultants as the dialect alternant for the Alto Ventuari drainage area, it seems to be more wide-spread among people in the Cunucunuma region along with the expected mö'dö form.
