    Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Just curious, is -uk just a general suffix to make anything plural, or this is just a one off thing here?

      Yes it is for most words.

      Goose is niska … the plural is niskuk

      Beaver is amisk… the plural is amiskuk

      It’s not a hard rule but it applies to many things, objects and animals.
