WIIYAW-HER BODY (IN ANISHINAABEMOWIN)

• oshtigwaan- her head
• wiinizisan- her hairs
• odinimaangan- her shoulder
• onik- her arm
  
• odooskwan- her elbow
• oninj- her hand
• onoogan- her hip
• okaad- her leg
• ogidig- her knee
• ozid- her foot

Note: Most body part words in Anishinaabemowin are “inalienable.” This means you have to say HER head, MY head, YOUR head. You can’t simply say “a head” without specifying who it belongs to. This is what the o-orod-on most of the words refers to.
