I got an interesting Cheyenne word today. I think it was used as a putdown
of someone, which makes it even funnier within the Cheyenne system of joking
relationships:
Nétsêhe'êsêsóhkometséeeese. 'You have a long narrow nose flared (at the
nostrils).'
This discussion list has been rather quiet lately, so I thought it would be
fun to post this word. How about you? Have you come across some interesting
word lately?
