This entry is where I'll list Iñupiaq words I remember from the place I grew up.
I'll update this list whenever I can remember a new word.
Keep in mind I've only ever heard these words spoken out loud, so I don't know their proper spellings.
Also... It may be evident that these are words from my childhood, and rather juvenile... sweatdrop
• Unnuk — Poop
• Nilluk — Fart
• Koopiak — Coffee
• Illiguak — Sock (or underwear; I'm not sure)
• Koomuks — Cooties
• Kukkik — Booger
• Oogruk — Seal
• Allahpah! — (Exclamation you'd say when you're cold. "Brrr!")
• Ijagee! (Eejagee?) — (Exclamation you’d say when something scares you. “Yikes!”)
• Ijigok — A type of imp, a little monster that kidnaps children who misbehave.
