I've been gone for a week and have 185 e-mails to deal with, most of which I
haven't read yet.  But since I opened this one...

Isa'ahkawuattee is composed of isa'ahka 'old man' + bu'attaa 'coyote'.
Isahkupe'e 'tricky' won't work because of the vowel length: it has a short
'a' where isa'ahka has a long 'a'.
