It sounds like some sort of greeting, sounding close to "Hi," "Howdy," "Hey" and "Hello." The "ee" sound sometimes works as an affectionate nickname (as in "Consie"). And the "l" might just be fun to say. It seems like a good word to use when you're being pleasantly observant. <br />{A character on the Simpsons was looking askance at a coined word in the Springfield town slogan, "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man." When the character questioned "embiggens," another character defended it--"It's a perfectly crumulent word." This anecdote does not answer your question, however. It just that I often like invented words like Maybelle's.}Julia E.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217750984500164269.post-19993508903036710752013-09-15T14:27:41.026-04:002013-09-15T14:27:41.026-04:00What word does her teacher use to refer to the who...What word does her teacher use to refer to the whole class?

Or maybe she's saying "parlay" although I cant fathom a reason for a 5 year old to know or use that word. Other than that, I'd go with what Cate said and ask her to show you Haley.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217750984500164269.post-49676593106251177072013-09-14T20:51:20.245-04:002013-09-14T20:51:20.245-04:00Hm.

Have you tried, "show me Haley?" just to see what happens? You could also ask her teachers to see if they have some sort of routine at school that involves that word shape. So interesting! I want to know too :).Catherine Bushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01369457899592606218noreply@blogger.com
