Eskimo* words are strange, with many syllables,
prefixes, suffixes and infinixes, if that last is a thing?

I was told the longest word the UAF linguistics dept
could come up with in Yup'ik was something like
" will you or will you not make me a nu e airplane".

So I'd guess the many words for snow would to
" us" be actually just what 'we" would use two or three
separate words. " heavy wet snow" " packed powder".

The inuit are a subgroup.
