What does the Inuit word Ajungilak mean?
According to the German company that currently markets Ajungilak brand sleeping bags, it is an Inuktitut word meaning "schlaf wohl" (sleep well) or "wohlfühlen" (to feel well, in general). This suggests that they themselves aren't really sure what it means, or weren't sure a century-plus ago when the brand name was created.
With that many syllables, it looks like a root word plus one or more affixes. The word ajungi by itself translates with a range of meanings from "good-looking" to "well done!" to "able to take care of yourself". Think "okay". I don't know where they get the "sleep" part.
What do Eskimos eat during summer?
Inuit (not eskimos) eat a range of fish, wildfowl, caribou and other game.
The Inuits that lived in Alaska lived in houses mad of driftwood and mud to keep it together. The Inuits in other places lived in igloos made of hard packed snow with a skylight on top made of ice. In summer the igloos melted so they moved into shelter made by animal skin. :)
