Maybe instead of using {bam}, use the related word {DIgh}, perhaps {DIghpu'wI'} "one who has dealt with (something)." I'd also be inclined to pair {chu'chu'wI'} (one who is clearly/perfectly new) for a newbie with {ta'ta'wI'} (one who has deliberately accomplished) for an old pro, and that covers about the same territory as rookie/veteran. ~mIp'av On Monday, July 16, 2018, Steven Boozer <sboozer@uchicago.edu> wrote:

I'm not sure I see it. If anything, these sound like something a Beginner's Grammarian would call themselves in jest.

How about bampu'wI'? or: bamta'wI' bamchu'wI' or what fine-tuning is appropriate.

I am trying to find a pair of relatively simple words that I can use to label people as the equivalent of rookies (it's their first time experiencing something) or veterans (they've been through it before).
I like {chu'wI'} "newcomer", but I can't decide what to use as its counterpart. Have any of you ever needed this kind of distinction, and if so, did you come up with anything satisfactory?
