[Lexicog] Turkey

["Alfred W. Tüting"]

'wild turkey', in Lakota is given as _wagleksun_ [wagle'ks^uN] - do you 
have any idea what it means?

BTW, in German it's 'Truthahn' (maybe from mndd 'droten'- to threaten), 
earlier it was called 'indianischer Hahn' (ref. to West Indies) but also 
'welscher' or 'tuerkischer Hahn'.

In Romanian, it is called 'curcan' [kurka'n] and in Hungarian 'pulyka 
(kakas)' [puj'kã kã'kãsh]. I don't know why :(
