n. bird species
Var.: (tšyoy)
Notes: Described as a small bird. The male had a red head and breast; the rest of its body was grayish. Females were a mixed brown and black. Harrington guesses that this refers to the red headed linet, although linets are not New World birds. He also notes that this word may, additionally, refer to the mockingbird. However, no examples with that use are given.
IPA: tʃʰjɔj̰
Ref: 71.628.2-629.2
