Hello,



I’m working with a translation of an early 19th-century document in which the 
way in which the months were characterized by Alaska Natives is described. July 
is said to be the month when “морские свинки плодятся”. The translator has said 
this means when “dolphins give birth”. Does this refer to dolphins?



Thanks,



Sarah Hurst
