adlet in a sentence
Examples
- An etymology of the word is proposed by H . Newell Wardle : " adlet " might come from " ad ", " below, " and thus denote " those below . " Alternatively, he argues, it might come from the stem " agdlak ", " striped, streaked, " thus " the striped ones, " in reference to American Indians who lived to the west and painted their faces . " Erqigdlet " might be a derogatory term denoting the same people . " Atlat " means " others, " denoting American Indians from the Inuit perspective, though Newell Wardle considers this possibility secondary and deriving from phonetic similarity.
