Answer 2

eyes

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the excerpt from Virginia Hamilton's collection of folktales "The People Could Fly". It includes tales of enslaved Africans, animal and supernatural tales.

From this excerpt we infer that Bruh Rabbit sees Bruh Gator shut his eyes and knows he fell asleep.

This is also mentioned in the previous sentence with the phrase "shunt he yeye" meaning "shut his eyes".

From this, it's easy to conclude that the word "yeye" itself means "eyes".
