keyahke•yahᗸᘓᑋNterritory, trapline, village

Etymology: ‟beneath the feet”, that is, the area one regularly walks over. This is not so obvious in Carrier, which has lost yah with the meaning ‟beneath”, but is made clear by cognates in related languages, e.g. Sekani keyih, Denaina qayeh, Atna qayax and Navajo kéyah.
