[PW] Re: Inuit for raccoon

[Druzz]

DEAR WOMBATTERS:

Just at the Net we could find things like this:
one is perfectly able to pick up, in the language
of the Inuit (one of them is Inuktitut), the NAME
of the, erh, "fossilized penis bone of the raccoon" (!),
which is "oosik" (scientific name, in Latin: "os penis"
= "penis bone" - but not the exact name of the
RACCOON in the same language... If Wombatters
do not believe, please visit just one/two sample(s),
in the URLs:

http://www.luckymojo.com/raccoonpenis.html
or
www.tellmewhereonearth.com/Web%20Pages/Fossils/Fossils_Page_6.htm

;-(
In time: depending on the localization, the Inuit(s) speak
just one of these five modalities of the sub-branch Inuit of
the branch Eskimo of the Eskimo-Aleut linguistic family:
- Inuktitut (Eastern Canada);
- Inuktitut (Greenland);
- Inuktitut (Western Canada);
- Inupiatun (North Alaska), and
- Inupiatun (Northwest Alaska)...
