Day 2: Things that are round:
unezšwi: sphere, orb, ball
myo: onion
Sotsoyánu or unyunu [a cutesy way of saying “ball bug”]: rollie pollie

uniazšwóleeh: to chase one’s tail [as a dog does]; to run around in circles

pyxoaga: to vomit [an irregular verb]
rolawoleeh: of fish and sea life, to be contaminated [such as from an oil spill] and unfit for human consumption
kulikaa: of trees, to have rot in the heartwood [Tulwyn]. I believe in English this is called druxy.

You can’t do anything yourself, so you have to sponge off others’ success.”
