Folks:
There is another word for comb, which is Bnakwan…
the word listed in APWAD of a day or so ago is Ottawa/Wdawa and is used
interchangeably up north. The word for finetooth comb would be bnéagen…
Often, there are more than one way to say words/nouns such as comb among
the Neshnabék, whose languages we are attempting to revive the use of.

Among Neshnabék people, it is customary to let people know who you are, especially when you say something to someone or share something you feel is important. Not to do so is considered rude, therefor whoever has made comments on this site and does not want us to know who they are is either rude, or simply doesn’t know any better. In either case, they are not deserving of an answer or to be recognized.
