Definition/Cultural Note


Tanne Arrito/Snell also record louse/flea as cutta. This is an important source because it was recorded well before the mission period, but it has several errors. It is not clear whether cutta is a different word, or perhaps misheard.


Scientific Name
scientific name for louse: pediculus. gudlu, kudlu; gullu, kullu (both less formal); gudla (more recent)
