Hau Kodapi:
This my first time using this medium.
I am not a linguist.
I teach carpentry here at cankdeska Cikana Community College, Ft. Totten,
ND.

Just a few comments on wa:
Wa seems to be a noun marker.
Wica means human as opposed to male.
Bdoka is the word for male.

I should also say I am not a native speaker but have picked up a vocabulary
living here on the rez.
Toksta ake,
Louie
