>Regarding wabdenica
This is what iwas taught.
wanbdi-eagle
nica-lacks or doesn't have, is without
Each tiospaye (extended family) had their own fla, some still do. If a
child was orphaned, he or she was seen as not having that
flag (tawapaha-ta-her/his, wa-wanbdi, pa-head, ha-skin or hide) anymore
hence wanbdenica.<<
Shouldn't we expect _wanblenica/wanbdebica_ instead of
_wablenica/wabdenica-, then?
