(female exclamation of surprise)interjππ»ΜΝπΌππ·Μ!golly!Quintero notes on page 251 of her Osage Dictionary (2009), "As an exclamation, ππ»ΝπΌππ· is not vulgar and is not a statement about truth or question about truth."For this term (often just two syllables), any conjugations need to be done after the first syllable. This is often because this term is composed of two words, though the original meanings of the two words may be unknown.
