All of the Haidan Tribes speak a general language. This is a small dictionary that translates some of the Haidan terms that are used. These can also be used to create names for any kind of Haidan Character.
The language is spoken somewhat backwards. Ex. Ahatna'l'Haida = People of the Plains
ili = 'l' - of
Ahatna - Plains
Nisga - Forest
Yakima - Wandering/Wanderers
Ivera - Desert
Kel – Sun (Soma can also, less often, be used to refer to the Sun)
Yere - Grass
Haida - People, The People; When used by other cultures it means 'Natives', tending to reference every Native Clan/Tribe together as a whole;
Kin - Cat
Ashu - Spirit
Sairee - Eternal, Forever, Long Lasting
Hakeysh - Rocks/Rocky
Mwe - Heavy; Large, Old; spelled 'Mw' if the next word begins with an 'e'
Alem - Dog
Ekem - Fang; Tooth, Sharp
Enu - Small; Light, Young
Ebi - Water, Lake; River would be Ebi'Thi; Ocean/Sea would be Ebi'Mwe
