0:00 – This girl had a bad habit of sitting with her knees open and she’d always sit like that, showing her thighs, and I could never get the connection until the dead fish, you know, and the girl sitting like that, unless it was part of a fish that died – (indistinguishable through laughter)

1:10 – We call that a [Sahapti].

1:32 – This [Sahapti] could get pretty confusing, it could mean height, length or it could be a noun describing the long hour (?)

-class talking until 2:42-

2:42 – In this case, [Sahapti] is long, no? Long.

3:00 – Hey birdie, you know why I know that is because I was washing dishes one time and the elders taught me the difference between dirty and clean.

3:18 – [Sahapti]

3:24 – I wonder if we should put “long i” on that, does this have “long i”?

3:42 – Clean, dirty, and long.

3:53 – The other [Sahapti] was tall, now this is long.

3:58 – Is it because of the accent?

4:03 – No, I just didn’t put the accent down here.

4:09 – It’s just how you use it.

4:12 – Now, which is clean and which is dirty?

4:19 – [Sahapti] is clean.

4:22 – This is when you get the dishes in the longhouse and you make ‘em look like this. (laughter)

-class talks until 5:00 then mumbling, chalk on chalkboard-

5:33 – Accent over the “short e”.

5:40 – From underneath.

5:46 – [Sahapti]

5:57 – [Sahapti]

6:08 – Bear with me friends. I sometimes get carried away here.

6:29 – Next word that goes here [Sahapti]

6:54 – What are you doing over there?

6:58 – That’s one word. 

7:02 – The “k” is where and “x”? Wait, not in here. I mean “x”, I just wrote “k”.

-class talks until 8:05-

8:05 – Sometimes I can’t hear you friends. I only got one ear, I really do, I’m tone deaf in the right, so I’ll always pivot and look at you, and sometimes I don’t hear.

8:28 – Right here. Sometimes I forget to put it. You have to use this instead of [Sahapti], you can’t use [Sahapti] there.

8:48 – Something old, in the picture is an old shoe, a real old shoe, old.

-class talking until 9:40-

9:40 – Bear with me now, what’s the next one?

9:43 – [Sahapti]

9:50 – “Long a” “barred m” [Sahapti]

-class talking until 11:43-

11:43 – Wet? Huh, how about that?

12:00 – “back x” “y” “long a” “w”, good words huh?

12:29 – She’s waiting.

-class talking until 14:44-

14:44 – It means something dark colored, like grey. You’re wearing [Sahapti], I’m wearing [Sahapti]. See the difference?

-class talking until 17:34-

17:34 – From my knowledge, what’s this applying to here?

-class talking until 22:01-

22:01 – What if he has a light bulb?

22:09 – Light bulbs?

22:31 – First one is to turn it off, second one is to turn it on, [Sahapti].

-class talking until 23:26-

23:26 – This I had never seen, I had seen this word, but never equated it to turning on the lights.

-class talking until 23:58-

23:58 – The universe is beautiful and it’s shining, yeah I still have it written down in my notebook.

-class talking until 24:36-

24:36 – Lay it on me son.

-class talking until 26:53-

26:53 – I wasn’t being disrespectful. I think they take it one less step lower than sin.

27:04 – Okay [Sahapti] means in front of. [Sahapti] means back of, and [Sahapti] means behind, like someone lines up behind you, [Sahapti]. No, no, no if you’re running a race and you’re in last it’s [Sahapti]. If there’s a word for last in racing then what do you call it? Dedicated. Lagging.

-class talking until end-
