Kiowa Indians; Kiowa language -- Glossaries, vocabularies, etc.
Do´-e´dalte--"Big-face;" a Kiowa warrior killed in 1835-36.
dogâ´i--white faced (as applied to an animal); having the face of a
color different from that of the rest of the body; from _do´bä_ and
_gâ´idă_. Cf. _Gâ´igwŭ_.
Do-gi´ägyä-gu´ăt--"battle picture tipi," from _do´_, _gi´ägyä_, and
_gu´ăt_; the hereditary tipi of Doha´sän's family (see Winter 1872-73
and plate LXXIX).
do`go´t-ä´--oak, oak tree, literally "very hard wood," from _do_, _got_,
and _ä_; they now say _ka`do´li-ä_, which conveys the same idea, on
account of the death of a woman named Do`go´tä about five years ago.
_Do`go´t-e´_, acorn, literally "oak fruit."
Do go´t-ä p'a--Oak creek or Post-oak creek, a small southern tributary
of the Washita in County H, Oklahoma; literally, "oak creek," from
_do`go´t-ä_ and _p'a_. The name has recently been changed to _Ka`do´li-ä
p'a_ (see the preceding).
Do`gu´at--Wichita, with their cognate tribes the Waco and Tawakoni, and
presumably also the Kichai; singular _Do`gu´atk`ia_, literally
"pictured, or tattooed faces," from _do´bä_ and _gu´ăt_, on account of
their practice of tattooing; sometimes also called Be´dalgu´ăt,
"tattooed mouths;" singular, _Be´dalgu´ătk`i´a_, their Comanche name;
_Do´`kana_ conveys a similar meaning. They call themselves
_Kĭtikĭti´sh_, spelled _Kidi-ki-tashe_ in the Greer county testimony.
Do`gu´at k`op--"Wichita mountain," from _Do`gu´ăt_ and _k`op_. The Kiowa
call by this name only those at the western end, between Elk creek and
the North fork of Red river, on the reservation, in the vicinity of the
old Wichita village (see Summer 1834). For the rest of the group they
have names only for particular peaks.
do´guătal--a young man.
Do´guătal-e´dal--"Big-young-man," from _do´guătal_ and _e´dal_; a
sacrilegious Kiowa warrior in 1861.
Do´guătal-tai´de--"Young-man-chief," from _do´guătal_ and _tai´de_;
agent Lieut. Maury Nichols, in charge 1893-94.
do´`gyäho´n--she was frozen; I am freezing, _ädo´`gyäho´n_.
do´ha´--bluff.
