I was curious if anyone is aware of a Lakota term for the numeric concept of "0" (zero). Most Lakota/English dictionaries I have read give numeric terms beginning with "1" (one), and do not have "0" (zero) listed.
While I know of the Lakota terms such as...
wanji'ni = none
takuni = nothing
...is this the same as "0" (zero)?
Just wondering,
Jonathan
