yup'ik word of the day--naam

naam: (n'aam, as in vietNAM): i don't know

PAUL: "did uppa pick up tang from the store?"
SINDY: "naam."
PAUL: "what do you mean you don't know?"
SINDY: "naam. all i know is he was drinking kool-aid."

NOTES:
some variations to the word 'naam:'
naami (NAA-me)
naamikiki (naa-me-GEE'GEE)

one syllable is easier to say than three, so use the word 'naam.' naam.

"Iluq" is a cool word? It should be a word of the day.
