Noun
(plural teepees)
Origin
From the Lakota word thÃpi (IPA(key): /ˈtÊ°ipi/), which consists of two elements: the verb thÃ, meaning "to dwell," and pi, a pluralising enclitic (a suffix-like ending that marks the subject of the verb as plural), which means "they dwell." Lakota verbs can be used as nouns and this is the case with thÃpi, which in practice just means "house."
Verb
(third-person singular simple present teepees, present participle teepeeing, simple past and past participle teepeed)
- Alternative form of tp (to cover with toilet paper)
