chained_bear commented on the word siku
"The Siberian Yupik language is ideally suited to the world of St. Lawrence Island, a landscape of ice and snow. Siberian Yupik has almost sixty separate words for ice: siku, ice; duvaq, shore-fast ice; iighwilnguq, drifting floes of ice; genu, slush ice; saleq, new ice; laaq, ice run; meghaat, open water on pack ice; kagim leghwaaq, crushed ice. Heimo told me how sometimes Edna will caution the girls: 'Watch out, that's wet water!' or 'Walk there, that's frozen ice.' They find it endlessly amusing, but for Edna it is anything but redundant."
