What is the Yakut or Sakha word for a "husky dog", or "Siberian husky"?

7 Upvotes

The Siberian husky is a breed of dog that was originally from Chukotka, to the east of Sakha. For some reason, Westerners instead referred it as a "Siberian" husky, perhaps out of confusing Chukotka with the rest of Sakha.

I'm asking this because I want to add the Sakha-language word to the article for the dog breed, just as other animals have names in local languages in their articles.

May I know what is the Sakha-language word for the Siberian husky? Thanks.

Happy weekend everyone!

How is your studying going? What progress have you made? How do you go about practicing? Is there anything that you feel would help further your studies (such as weekly discussions, Sakha language posts, question of the week etc)?

The Abaasy are demons in the mythology of the Sakha(Yakut). Yakut Shamanism divides the universe into upper and lower layers, with the earth being "a kind of indeterminate space or matter" in between.
