Embarrassmentlessness

Pankab "Monkankārāyanayēd"
Ch'īxob "Moqaqowdownyanayiychi"
Chaa "Mon'an'olonyanayiki"
Naam Xoomam "Monkankotonyanayich"

from Proto-Northern Xii "Monkankooroonyanayiiti" - Mo (Neg.) + Nka (pass.) + N. (state) + Kooroonya (Shame) + (a)na (pass.) + iiti (nominaliser)

Contrast "Kooroonya" (shame/awkwardness/embarrassment) with "Kooroonyaqap" (Shame) = Shame + true

That sort of turned into a scratchpad. Sorry.

Next word: Uncertainty.
