Example 76-71
- Comment:
- This word was created on the basis of the Eskimo verb stem angi- 'to be big', in analogy with the word mikaninni 'small', which derives from both the Portuguese nautical pidgin pikaninni 'child, small' and the Eskimo verb root miki- 'small'. Note that añaninni and mikaninni are not the result of a productive word-formation process in Eskimo Pidgin, and that their etymological constituents cannot be distinguished as morphemes in the pidgin.
