Biloxi Words and Tutelo-Saponi

[Scott Collins]

I'm trying to figure out how to get a translation from Biloxi inot Tutelo-Saponi.
 
The words in Biloxi are Sokuno and Sokudi nithaani.
 
Sokuno is Cypress or a.k.a. Bald Cypress
 
Sokudi nithaani is the Pond Cypress
 
I was doing a translation on the Juniper which was Cuwahana in Biloxi. I used acu:ti wi:ya for this because it is called the redwood tree or the words translate into literally as redwood tree or red wood. I have not yet found a word for Cedar which is another species of tree from the Juniperus virginiana a.k.a. Juniper tree. 
 
I'm trying to get a breakdown on Sokuno and Sokudi nithaani as to better be able to literalize the translation and see if I can find the correlating Tutelo-Saponi words for these two species of Cypress trees. 
 
I'm working on four tree species; the pine tree (waste or wasti in Tutelo-Saponi), juniper tree (acuti wiya in Tutelo-Saponi), the cypress tree and cedar tree.
