What is the Comanche word for lonely?

tauni-mara its is a phrase in the movie CHISUM, starring John Wayne, it's the north wind

==========================================================

Answer: Every aspect of the John Wayne film Chisum is false, including all details of the native Americans shown in the movie. The phrase "tahnee mara" was invented by the writer of the original story, who had no absolutely understanding of any native language or culture. Anyone who thinks they can learn history from American movies is extremely foolish.

The Comanche word for "alone" is sʉmʉsa(sʉmʉ' = one), and the word for "lonely" will be close to this. The Comanche word for wind is nʉena or nʉetʉ.

Tahnee mara does not mean anything in either Comanche or "Apache" (unspecified tribe) - the two native groups mentioned in the movie.
