CA languages

[Mia Kalish]

Sorry, Bernadette, 

I keep forgetting about the verbs {almost} at the end!

Thanks!

Mia

Mia:

 

No, it doesn't refer to mountain. The base verb would be nldzil "strong" or
"strength".

Mia & others:

 

Our language, White Mountain Apache, is Southern Athabaskan, and following
is our interpretation of the terms in "Thinking,..." for your info & of
anyone else interested for comparisons between Athabaskan languages.  

 

"Nis'i'ik'ees, nagolch'i' (or "bee nagot'aahii"), ihid'a (or "hidaa"), la'ii
ki haldzil (or "ki nalwod agoch'ile'")"        [these are without the
diacritic marks included]

 

Email if there are any questions.

Hello Mia and David: I'm going to forward your question to Gregg Masten, the
director of language, culture and education for the people in Hoopa.
Although he may not be able to comment on all Athabaskan languages, he will
probably be able to comment on Hupa language specifically. I'll ask him to
respond to you directly.

Regards,

Dorothy
