[Lexicog] extinguish ~ die

[Wayne Leman]

"ghoing" would work in my database, David (Tuggy), since the Russian dialect
word for 'fire' is agóin', in this case the same as standard Russian, ОГОНЬ.
But in this dialect there came a point where there was mixing of Russian and
English, as the Alaskan villagers transitioned from Russian to English.
There are wonderful stories with sentences where speakers say parts of
both languages and something goes awry (a kind of Russian bread, I think!).

Now we just have to find some cognate for "ghits".
