Notes

  1. Mike is struggling to remember the rare word, sutsàhyonàa 'my groundhog skin blanket', and says sitoohyòna here. He remembers sutsàhyonàa two sentences later.
  2. "Tlįį diyidzè' 'dog's penis' is a swear word.
  3. 'uyii 'that', 'uts'idòòhts'e 'giant', joo 'too', zèhkhę 'he killed'
  4. 'udoo màda 'nobody, not anybody'
  5. to clean it
