Munro et al. 1992: 154. Polysemy: 'all / every / everyone / completely'. "The word pay, meaning 'all', is often used in sentences referring to a lot of people, particularly if the dictionary does not list a separate plural form for the verb of the sentence" [Munro et al. 1992: 308]. Secondary synonyms: č=aːm ~ ča=aːm ~ č=uː=aːm ~ č=uːw=aːm 'all / a lot / every' [Munro et al. 1992: 59], kʷ=asent ~ kʷ=asiːnt ~ ku=siːnt ~ ku=sent 'each / every / all / the whole thing' (derived from ʔasent 'one') [Munro et al. 1992: 124], ɲa=kuː=pay 'every / all / only' [Munro et al. 1992: 146].
Cocopa:s=aːm2
Crawford 1989: 241-242. Glossed as 'be or do all or everything in regard to someone or something, do all or everything for someone'. Word class: transitive verb. 3rd person form: s=w=am (but =aː=s=ˈaːm for the benefactive meaning). Secondary synonyms: ɲ=m=aːm (impersonal intransitive verb) 'be only, all, just, almost, the end' [Crawford 1989: 181], and ɲ=k=wiɲ (intransitive verb) 'be complete, all, only, exclusively so' [Crawford 1989: 178]. Examination of contexts in [Crawford 1983] shows that s=aːm is the main synonym for 'to be all'. The meaning of the s= in s=aːm is not clear, but its prefixal nature is confirmed by the third person form s=w=am (third person prefix u=/w= occurs immediately before the root [Crawford 1966: 64]).

Jamul Tiipay:čam-ʎ̥ ~ ɲa=čˈam-ʎ̥2
Miller 2001: 29, 170, 174. Glossed as 'all / in its entirety' [Miller 2001: 170]. According to Miller, čamʎ̥ etymologically (but not synchronically) consists of stem čam and inessive case marker -ʎ̥ [Miller 2001: 29]. The word means both 'omnis' and 'totus', cf. the following examples: t̪iːpˈay pǝyˈa čamʎ̥ uːsˈawax-čuʔu 'Are we going to feed all these people?' [Miller 2001: 46], ...kʷakpˈu čamʎ̥ st̪uːč ɲauːčˈanč... '...when she had gathered all the meat and taken it down...' [Miller 2001: 49].

Crawford 1989: 172. Glossed as 'be black, dark, dark-complexioned'. Word class: intransitive verb. 3rd person form: ʔu=ɲˈiːʎ̥ ~ ɲ=w=iʎ̥ (for some speakers ɲ=w=iʎ̥ means 'he is dark-complexioned' and ʔu=ɲˈiːʎ̥ - "he is black (as if painted black)' [ibid.]). Thus, the root varies between =iːʎ̥ and =ɲiːʎ̥.
