ku'uytEn 'horse'

[Aron Faegre]

Klahowya tillikum,

How did the link to Ojibwe 'moos' get made in these discussions?  'Moos'
must be a very old Ojibwe word, and is pronounced much like the moose's
call -- the ending like a 'z'.  There would have been no confusion
between horse and moose -- you never ride a moose, you seldom eat a
horse.  And Baraga's 1850 Ojibway Dictionary gives horse as
'bebejigoganji'.  The CJ 'moos-moos' would make some sense transfering
to cattle or buffalo, but how does it relate to horse?
