> Can anybody tell me whether or not an expression for 'oak (-tree)' > exists in Dakota/Lakota? Up to now I couldn't find any. Riggs' Dakota dictionary gives: u'tahu = an oak tree Identical entry is given by Buechel and Deloria in their Lakota dictionaries. Additionaly Buechel gives: itu'hu = the black oak and Riggs: usku'yeca hu' = the white oak, Quercus alba Jan
