ya-waat Notes:
Note that the kei in: kei uwawát 'he/she/it grew up' is optional, and therefore is not given in the Leer-Edwards theme above. However, speakers generally prefer to use the verb with kei. Note also that some of the forms sound strange out of context and require an accompanying phrase. For example: Tlél Sheet'káx' kei kçwawáat "S/he isn't going to grow up in Sitka."
