> I also wanted to ask about the words universe, cosmos and cosmology. Can these words be translated with the available data on Tutelo-Saponi?
The short answer is "no". Note that we don't even have such words in Anglo-Saxon English. "Universe" is Latin, via French, and "cosmos, cosmology" is Greek. You'd have to try for something like "sky" or "heavens", I guess.
I'll try to see what I can find out about the words from Dorsey in your earlier note. I have a copy of the original Dorsey file.
