>Q:"Do you know of any [Native American] names for the ferret? or any
> really cool names?"
>A: Cool, like Ice, Snowball, Frosty, Cool Hand Dook, or Mr. Freeze?
My older male has a cool name in Inuktitut (i.e. eskimo): Qannik or snow in
English. I found it in a print dictionary. One of my female a silver
mitt, Mukluk, has a native name for boots that was adopted by the English
and French languages.
