That's what I know in Lakota:
[zizi's^kopela] or just [s^ko'pela]
what I'd translate as "little crooked yellow(s)"
fr. zi' - yellow
s^ko'pa - crooked
s^kobya - make crooked
(e.g. pa s^kopa - crooked nose)
BTW, can anybody tell me what's "olive" in Lakota etc.?
(translating a poem, I created wigli kan [wi'gli-kxaN] (fr. kxaNta,
which sometimes is seen as a truncated form).
