radishnahku

Maybe instead of radish, we could use something like Cshka lohpu ('swollen root')? NEwhinny (talk) 14:20, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

We decided to add "lohpu" as s descriptor of the root instead of using "radishnahku." NEwhinny (talk) 14:34, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Hisawa tɛnakɔla tihikatɛpan

change to Hisawa, kClaku tihikatEpan = Hisawa blooms every year Rjmoore221 (talk) 14:20, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

We did this, and it poetically does a good job of conveying what it means to be perennial NEwhinny (talk) 14:35, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

utu namu na'ara

Does this work, or do we want to use ut'Cma ('lobed')? NEwhinny (talk) 14:20, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

'radish'

do we want to neologize or rephrase? LauraLMo (talk) 14:21, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

we could say something about propagation with rhizomes LauraLMo (talk) 14:21, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

resolved - see other comment LauraLMo (talk) 14:34, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

ɔshka haluhta, ɔshka hayish’ɛma

Is there a way to designate 'from'? Or is it syntactic? -sh(i)? NEwhinny (talk) 14:21, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Ɔshka haluhtahta,

I was trying to use -hta as an instrumental. Is this right? LauraLMo (talk) 14:23, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Hisawa kuhpani mashuku, hali haluhta wala raku

change mashuku to raku > Hisawa kuhpani, hali haluhta raku 'hisawa groups grow' (which sounds weird in English but I think works in Tunica

take out wala? or put somewhere else Rjmoore221 (talk) 14:23, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Ashutayi sahku ahahk'ihch ili, oni ɔshka haluhta al'ama pɔhtahkuta.

take out oni if we're referring to the Tunica; this is a pro-drop language so we don't always need an explicit subject. Suggestion: Cshka haluhta al'ama pChtakuta, ashutayi sahku ahak'ihch ili 2600:1700:684A:9400:B5D2:9262:2189:DC31 20:45, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
