View Full Version : A few of the bigfoots vocabulary words and their meanings
The exact origin of these words may not be the Nermanuh/bigfoot and could instead have been borrowed from one or another human group or tribe. In fact, it seems quite obvious this is the case for some of these entries.
While this list is certainly incomplete, however to date this comprises the total number of words understood and their meanings for now. These are only the tip of the ice berg compared to the full extent of their vocabulary.
I had someone request I place more of a word list up herein for people to read and see or enjoy or satisfy their curiosity. Some are rather hard to pronounce. Buffalo has help with the phonically correct spelling of the first 399 words here. the others have yet to be spelled phonically correct. I just spell them the way I think they should be spelled and I'm not up on phonics. I went to the old school.
Yours,
