In one respect, this term can be thought of almost like how adding -ing to a verb in English indicates an ongoing action. The variant of this term (π’»Ν˜π’Όπ“‡π’·) is used more often in modern Osage.While this is the full and/or main version of this term, its variant (usually contracted) is used more often.
