I have been following Ojibwe Word of the Day, a wonderful series of posts on Ojibwe language, presented by James Vukelich. Each of his videos discusses the complex, layered meanings of Ojibwe words. 

This one is Mino-bimaadizi  
meaning, "S/he leads a good life.'

This one is Animikiikaa. 
meaning, There is thunder. literally There are Thunderbeings about.
