gibaaw
Tsimshian edit
Noun edit
gibaaw
- Alternative form of gyibaaw (“wolf”)
References edit
- William Beynon, Russell Hayward, Tsimshian Stories, volume 6 (1985): gibaaw - wolf
- Christopher Fritz Roth, Becoming Tsimshian: the social life of names (2008): These terms are perfectly transparent to Sm'algyax speakers, who are distracted only by the use of the Gitksan / Nisga'a form for "wolf," gibuu, as opposed to the downriver form gibaaw.
