How do you say Mountain Lion in Yaghan/Yámana?

Just wondering99.145.194.98 (talk) 07:53, 30 November 2019 (UTC) I could not find it here, here, nor here. also how can I search through the Spanish wiktionary's entries for it? I couldn't figure that out either!99.145.194.98 (talk) 07:54, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a particular reason for thinking it will be in Spanish Wiktionary? It will be in there only if some enthusiast has gone through entering words from Yaghan, which seems unlikely. --ColinFine (talk) 17:47, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There seemed to be thousands of Yagán words in the Spanish Wiktionary but I had no way of searching through them for themNdołkah (talk) 23:58, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see 'puma', 'cougar', 'panther', 'painter', 'lion', etc., or even 'cat' listed in any of the dictionaries you linked, and i don't think there are or were any puma in Tierra del Fuego. This dictionary has 'cat' as borrowed from English, i'm not sure how accurate or complete that is as there is nothing listed for guanaco. John, Luke, and Acts are translated, but there seems to be a scarcity of lions in the New Testament. Here's es:wikt:puma, expand the Traducciones section.—eric 14:24, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

glottolog has 160 reference entries for the language, if anyone wants to look more.—eric 14:55, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
