Miscellaneous.

While English "igloo" meaning 'snow house' comes from Inuit, "iglo" (or "illu") more generally means 'house'
or home' in most dialects. Sometimes houses are constructed of peat[3,4]. English "kayak" comes from Intuit
"qayaq" (means the same)[3,4]. The stereotypical Eskimo name Nanook corresponds to "nanuq" 'polar bear'
