In Tahlequah my childhood friends were a brother and sister who lived across the parking lot. Her name was A-ni. We used to play in the sand pile with Hot Wheels cars
Ani is an interesting cherokee word since it's also used for the plural version of certain words in the cherokee language. [Plural] Wolves Aniwaya People Aniyvwi [Singular] Wolf Waya Person Yvwi So strawberries might be Aniani? Or something else?
No. I don't think it works quite that way. The prefix A-ni indicates something more like 'the people of' instead of just a plural. Aniwaya is Wolf Clan. A-ni /can/ pluralize some words but it's a complex interaction.
