How do you say mom in the Quileute language?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Quileute language is still in use today, though it is in danger of dying out. It is spoken only by tribal elders at La Push, and some of the Makah people. The Quileute language is different from any other spoken in the world. There is little information on it, and what is available is mostly in books sold by The People in an attempt to support teaching that language in the tribal school. We were unable to find the word for mom or mother, however the word for woman is "Wisatsu'upat."

Is there such thing as a big foot?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well to me I would think that bigfoot is real because if it is a creature that has been seen for hundreds of years then it has to be real because the Skunk Ape (Bigfoots cousin) exsits then there some in the world. Facts about Bigfoot are that is does not like to be seen so it runs away that's why people think that he's a myth. And he is supposed to be really strong, strong enough to break a tree in one or two knocks also bigfoots hand is about 11 inches long and his foot to be about 23 inches long, he runs really fast and is really curious he could eat dog food cat food or bird seeds. He is about 2 1/2 feet taller than a man.

Which animals can vampires turn into?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I don't know about ALL vampires but the vampire Count Vlad Dracula specifically can turn into a bat, and a wolf, and (this isn't an animal but whatever) a mist. Actually I watched this one movie, Dracula, and I MUST say that this is what it had to be simply because its unmistakeably, I don't quite understand what the hell exactly the filmmakers were trying to portray here but the creature the vampire turned into too looked a lot like a werewolf. In the movie Van Helsing... Dracula turns into a demonic gargoyle typle monster. The legends, tales and folklore speak about vampire-bats as the most common shape shifting for a vampire. Changing into another creatures is rarely mentioned but can be found occasionally, such as a plague of rats, a half man half bat, a white stag, are among a few to be mentioned.

How do you tame a werewolf?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, really, it's all in the mind. Trying to controll the werewolf in you may seem impossible especially when your angry or enraged but you need to train your mind to take you somewhere else. If you are craving blood or flesh, just go to a meat store, I've seen many diffrent raw meats and animal blood in small containers, that may help. If you have an urge to be in the forest, go hiking, walking or hunting in the forest. Again, it's all in the mind you just need to learn when it's a good idea to control yourself and when it's not. Hope i helped

In mythology what are dragon wings made of?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dragons are typically in Chinese, Japanese, occasionally Korean, and European mythology. There are few mentions of dragons in Egyptian mythology, and the dragons in Greek mythology are more alike to giant serpents than dragons. There are also feathered flying serpents in Mayan and Aztecs mythology, being known as amphitheres. However, some people think they are the people's interpretation of quetzals, and kind of brightly colored rainforest bird.

What do you think is the effect of describing Beowulf's fight against Grendel from the monster's point of view?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

He is only after glory and will do anything to get it.

That is a way to look at it. Or ,Maybe, before answering, you should just notice that this guy switched Beowulf and Grendel and I'm pretty sure it was meant as a joke ;)

...But in the movie Grendel is portrayed as more human which provides some sympathy from the audience for the character and makes Beowolf look brutal. In certain passages in the book, in my opinion, this can also be seen.

What is the difference between fairy tales and modern tales?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fantasy is a story set in a make-believe world, or a setting with extraordinary conditions. Possibly it contains a story where the cows talk, or the mice are great cooks. Fantasy is most often associated with dungeons and dragons and swords and bows.

The differentiate between traditional fantasy and modern fantasy one has to ask, "Is the author identifiable?"

Traditional fantasy, as far as I know, is a term used for legends, myths, folktales, fables and ballads.

Modern fantasy sometimes includes influences from the afore-mentioned, but has an identifiable author. Today modern fantasy is split into hundreds of subgenres.

Are there any Brazilian fairy tales?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, there are... I guess...I'm a Brazilian but can't recall if there are any specific Brazilian fairytales, but there are many kinds of beliefs and stories. I wouldn't know if they could be classified as fairytales. Fairytales often involve royalty, and modern versions usually have a happy ending. But we have some interesting folkloric stories:

Sací-Pererê

He was a little black boy, really really naughty, who can do magic, turn into whirlwind, likes to hide others people's things, play with the horse's hair, scare the people, and plays a lot of other pranks. The description of Saci is that he is a little black boy with a single leg and wearing a kind of red hat (where Saci's magic came from) and is always smoking. According to legend, there is a way to capture the Saci and that is when he is a whirlwind. One must get a bolter and place that on the whirlwind, then capture the Saci and put him in a bottle. A person can then tell him to make things for him.

Boto

The boto is a kind of dolphin which lives in the rivers, but in Brazilian folklore there is also another story. The boto at night becomes a man -- a ladies' man -- who is a good dancer, and sometimes get the women pregnant. He always wears a hat to hide a hole on his head through which he breaths.

Mula-sem-Cabeça

"The Headless-Mule". As the name says it is a headless mule, and on the place where the head was supposed to be there is fire. She kills whoever she finds and her neighs are heard over big distances. The story goes that the Headless-Mule is a cursed woman who had an affair with a priest.

Not in the loch itselfbut reading the question to mean "Loch Doon area", there may be as there is Carboniferous Limestone in the region, but I recall no references to caves there. The only geological mapI could find was very small-scale generalised one, and didn't even show Loch Doon!
