The answer previously given is close, but not exactly accurate. The Cherokee word for man is *A-sga-ya.* When that word is spoken it is often contracted to sound like *a-sky.* The Cherokee word for little is u-sdi. When the two words are brought together the word for man is contracted even further so that the Cherokee name *Little man* is spoken as *Sky-u-sdi.*

The first word means man. The second little or small.

The marks over some of the vowels are high tone marks not accents. Think as though you are singing. low high, high high.

All the vowels are short in this: ne not neigh. a as in father, i as in bit.
