yup'ik word of the day--saskaq

saskaq: (SUSS-guq): (n): cup

Sindy, hand me that saskaq please. The one with the tuntu on it. No, the other one.

NOTES:
Cup'ik people spell 'saskaq' differently; its 'caskaq' in Cup'ik (JUSS-guq)--their dialect has more of a Russian influence.

If you change the 'k' to an 's,' you get 'sass'aq' which means 'clock.' Keep the 'k' and keep the cup. saskaq
