What's the meaning of these words ?

Hi I listen to RNAG an awful lot and keep coming across these words, which I think must be generic rather than context specific ? I'll give the words phonetically in the hope that someone can perhaps give me a clue as to what they might mean ? Deeny Bumskull Acu Mah Atah Sheh Shin Rivishin Thanks

Acu= acu= their's
Mah Atah= ?
Sheh Shin= sé sin= that is

Thanks guys. I really appreciate that. I had a course of 10 lessons which ended last Xmas and left me feeling like I was up **** creek without a paddle - still floundering.
