Biloxi Words and Tutelo-Saponi

[Anthony Grant]

Cuwahana in Biloxi is said to be a borrowing from Choctaw cuwahla.

Would Cedar then possibly be Siwiya (yellowwood) since Juniper is
possibly called acutiwiya (redwood)? I'm thinking this because true
Cedar (Cedarus spp.) has yellow wood.

I'm trying to figure out how to get a translation from Biloxi inot
Tutelo-Saponi.
 
The words in Biloxi are Sokuno and Sokudi nithaani.
 
Sokuno is Cypress or a.k.a. Bald Cypress
 
Sokudi nithaani is the Pond Cypress
 
I was doing a translation on the Juniper which was Cuwahana in Biloxi. I
used acu:ti wi:ya for this because it is called the redwood tree or the
words translate into literally as redwood tree or red wood. I have not
yet found a word for Cedar which is another species of tree from the
Juniperus virginiana a.k.a. Juniper tree.
 
I'm trying to get a breakdown on Sokuno and Sokudi nithaani as to better
be able to literalize the translation and see if I can find the
correlating Tutelo-Saponi words for these two species of Cypress trees.
 
I'm working on four tree species; the pine tree (waste or wasti in
Tutelo-Saponi), juniper tree (acuti wiya in Tutelo-Saponi), the cypress
tree and cedar tree.
