Calming Down Shoshoni War And Peace Poem by Kimberly Burnham
Calming Down Shoshoni War And Peace
In Shoshoni particularly the Duck Valley dialect
"yoo" is gentle or peaceful
still and soft
While in Ely Shoshoni
"nimmanehe" is to calm someone down
and "yuu" is peaceful
While in neighboring Big Smoky Valley
"woo" takes a different first letter to mean
enemy war a rival
With "yoo" and "yuu" only "woo"
makes it difficult to
"yuunnaahka" live in peace
