I'm looking for a translation and pronunciation of the Alaskan Inupiaq word "aniruk".

I just want to make sure it means what I think it means...

What do you think it means in English?

Page 144 of the PDF (128 of the page number shown on screen.) defines aniruk as

is big
resuscitated, revived,
arose

Page 33 of the PDF (17 of the document) has the definition as "is born (literally, exits)"

The definition is stated again as "exits, is born" just a few lines up from Patrick's reference on page 144 of the PDF as well.

Kinda hoping I could get a native speaker to describe how the word would be used in context.
