I live in Alaska and am often asked how we say this or that in Lakotiyapi, and it seems one just puts “Waziyata+Noun” and you have the name for almost all animals in Alaska. The native languages Yup’ik, Iñupiaq, and Athabaskan have very nice words that could be glossed into Lakotiyapi or fonetically adapted to fit out language and would be more interesting in my opinion. Just a thought.
