v. to fall headlong; to fall over one’s head
1. tšutitšnunux, 'he falls right over his head' (said of lassoed bull, man running, etc.).
Morph.: [<uti- (instr.punctual) + ts- (3.poss) + ?nuxš (nose.redup)>]
Cross References: Notes: The root of this word is unclear, but it may be nux(š) ‘nose.’ The lack of the final sibilant is problematic.
