Uto-Aztecan words for "'''Dog'''"
Southern Uto-Aztecan words for "'''Dog'''" are built on two main roots *''tsu'' "dog" and *''tsi'' "puppy", these are combined with other roots in the individual languages. The three compound forms are *''kotsi'' in Tara-Guarijío, *''wotsi'' in Tepiman, and *''tsɨkɨi'' in Corachol-Nahuan.


It is interesting that Totonacan and Mayan also have roots with *''tsi'' for "dog", but this seems to be an ancient Wanderwort.

Southern Uto-Aztecan words for "Dog" are built on two main roots *tsu "dog" and *tsi "puppy", these are combined with other roots in the individual languages. The three compound forms are *kotsi in Tara-Guarijío, *wotsi in Tepiman, and *tsɨkɨi in Corachol-Nahuan.

It is interesting that Totonacan and Mayan also have roots with *tsi for "dog", but this seems to be an ancient Wanderwort.
