The Lakota word for a crow (bird) is kangi(with a nasal "a" sound).

There are many different verbs for "to talk", each with a different shade of meaning that is dificult to express in English. Woyag means "talking or telling things", woich'iglakAmeans to talk about oneself, akhiyA is to talk in a group, howayA is to talk intensely without stopping, and so on.

Kangi woyag would therefore mean "a crow bird that tells things".
