Usage notes

This noun stem is found in two compounds, but the inflected form is not found in Trager's published work. J. P. Harrington does have the inflected form written as < haiinà >, which suggests the possible inflected forms xòiʼíne, xòiʼína, xóyne, or xóyna in Trager's transcription. Trager's fieldnotes will need to be consulted to resolve this.
