The Ojibwe Word of the Weekend is giiwiizens, which is the Ojibwe word for boy. You’ll notice that this doesn’t follow the pattern of adding a diminutive suffix to “ikwe” (woman) to make “ikwezens” (girl). You do however see the diminutive suffix “-ens” at the end. We cannot tell you why man and boy don’t follow the same pattern as woman and girl. Languages have patterns, but they’re never as rigid as math. We English speakers can probably think of quite a few irregularities in our language. Lis
