Created by: Gary George of the °Â±ð³Ù¡¯²õ³Ü·É±ð³Ù¡¯±ð²Ô Nation
Note: This glossary was compiled from several sources that include fluent speakers, draft dictionaries (1999), and First Voices online. One aspect with the Wit¡¯suw¾±³Ù¡¯±ð²Ô language is that one term can translate into a whole event or situation. The Small Number videos and this glossary serve as a guide of Wit¡¯suw¾±³Ù¡¯±ð²Ô language and are a ¡°work in progress¡± and subject to modification.
