Rich & Greasy

[Rankin, Robert L]

I wonder if what Dorsey has isn't a variant of mi?*gri 'grease'.  Earlier -gr- sometimes becomes -?w-.  That would put the glottal AFTER the -aN- rather than before it.  I can't account for the change of m- to n-.            Bob

John, Mark:
Dorsey provided a term:  n?aNwe, adj.,  "rich as in greasy food.  wayuwe n?aNwe ke,  the marrow is rich.
 
There are no N + glottal in IOM.  I checked in Radin's materials and found for "greasy".
RADIN = sara, sarak,  dasaraxji.
MINER= taasára(xjiN)   "greasy of kettles"
 
SWEATLAND = we'gathi (grease); shnishnide the ~ gaxe
What do you suggest in the original IOM word?
