<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi all,<br><br>A friend of mine just sent me a phrase she got out of a magazine supposedly in Lakota: Doska Ake Waunkte, for goodbye, although she says it actually translates to: "I will see you again on earth or in the spirit world". I'm interested in the word Waunkte, which I could not find either in my Dakota dictionary or in the online AISRI dictionary for Lakota; it looks like it may have something to do with 'spirit'? I'm thinking this may be cognate with Biloxi maNkde, as in Kuti MaNkde 'god' - 'Spirit Above' ? Anyone have a translation for Lakota 'waunkte' that may prove or disprove this theory?<br><br>Dave<br></td></tr></table><br>
