Hrmmm

ᎠᏂ vs ᎾᎿ

These words appear a lot in these hymns I am transcribing.

I looked up occurrences of it in the Cherokee new testament, it seems to be indicate location of "here/very close by" most of the time, but what degree difference of meaning is there with "ᎾᎿ"?

I know that in some languages there a differing shades of "hereness" and "farness". Is this similar?

ᎠᎨᎢ : Over there.
ᎾᎿᎢ : There (This is also one of those words that you can see as ᏀᎿᎢ or ᏀᎾᎢ or even ᎾᎾᎢ)
ᎠᎭᏂ, ᎠᏂ : Here

There's also
ᎤᎿ/ᎤᏅ : There, where
Suffix -Ꭲ : There (Or a tonal change)
Prefix Ꮻ- : There

(I'll try my hardest to remember to come back to this)...

So ᎠᏂ is short for ᎠᎭᏂ and definitely refers to location within reach? :)

ᏀᎿᎢ / Nah-Hna-I ... Whew!
