Several terms enter into competition. Of those, the most common and neutral expression seems to be qʰaht-ɬ ~ qʰahƛ, see examples in [Krauss 1970: 968 ("scrape that bark!"), 1563]. The final -ɬ is a common instrumental suffix.

    Another term for 'tree bark' is ɬãh [Krauss 1970: 504], but this is apparently obsolete, attested in one source only.

    A third candidate is tʰah 'skin (q.v.) / hide / peel / bark / shell (of egg, crustacean)', attested in expressions kʼu-tǝ-tʰah 'tree-bark' (indn.poss-qual-skin), lis-tǝ-tʰah 'spruce-bark' (tree/spruce-qual-skin) [Krauss 1970: 272].

    Cf. also more specific terms, such as saʔ 'inner bark, cambium, and sap, especially of hemlock, scraped in spring, dried flake-like, and kept in sealoil for winter food' [Krauss 1970: 728], etc., see the complete list in [Krauss 1970a: 671].

    Cf. also a more specific term possr=ɬaʔčʼ 'stomach' [Krauss 1970: 519].

    Krauss quotes two kinds of expressions for 'bird (in general)':

    1) yǝχ tǝ-ɬǝ-kʼaʔtʼ-χ 'bird; airplane', literally 'it flies around', with the verbal root kʼaʔtʼ 'to fly (sg. subj.)' / yǝχ χǝ-ta-ʔyaː-χ 'flying things; birds', literally 'these fly about', with the verb =χǝ=ʔya 'to fly (pl. subj.)' (yǝχ is a progressive exponent) [Krauss 1970: 1242, 2442].

    2) qǝnuh 'ducks, waterfowl, fowl, bird (generic)' [Krauss 1970: 1425].

    The latter does not seem to be the default word for 'bird'; we tentatively prefer not to include this in the list.

    Cf. also a more specific term qãː-ti-čʼičʼ-k '(any) small non-aquatic songbird' [Krauss 1970: 904]; as noted by Krauss, apparently a nominalized active imperfective from the hypothetical verbal root čʼičʼ '?', i.e. literally 'it does (something repetitive) on ground' (in fact, this root seems to be onomatopoeic).

    Cf. also cʼǝq-ɬ-kaʔ 'blackish', literally 'cʼǝq-like' [Krauss 1970: 713] (cʼǝq '?').

    Cf. =tǝs ~ =tis 'to clot (of blood)', kũː=ɬ=tǝs-ɬ 'clotted blood' [Krauss 1970: 129].

    Browsing through [Krauss 1970] strongly suggests that the most neutral and frequent Eyak verb for 'to go / to come', used with sg. subj., is =a.

    Cf. some examples for the meaning 'to go': "where did you go (s=ah-ɬ)?", "nor will you know whither she's gone (s=ah-ɬ) and left you" [Krauss 1970: 49], "right into where water's formed a puddle he walked (s=ah-ɬ)" [Krauss 1970: 2718], "he didn't go (s=ah-ɬ-ĩh) far" [Krauss 1970: 2782], "he went (s=ah-ɬ-ĩh) by me", "he walked (s=ah-ɬ) by in front of/behind me" [Krauss 1970: 2841], "he went (s=ah-ɬ-ĩh) out" [Krauss 1970: 2856].

    Examples for the meaning 'to come' are (selectively): "that man would come (qʰuʔw=ah)" [Krauss 1982: 44], "bogeyman will come (qʰuʔw=ah) here" [Krauss 1970: 2871], "he didn't come (ʔǝ=s=ah-l-q) at a good time" [Krauss 1970: 73], "did he come (s=ah-ɬ) visit you?", "did you come (s=ah-ɬ) close to it?" [Krauss 1970: 109], "do something quick: he's come (s=ah-ɬ) here!" [Krauss 1970: 1836], "say to him thus that he should come (ʔ=iy=aː-χ) to me" [Krauss 1970: 2092], "I come (ʔǝ=x=aː-kʼ) to where it's daylight" [Krauss 1970: 497], "why don't you come (ʔ=iːy=aː-kʼ-q) to (visit) me?" [Krauss 1970: 2262], "come (iy=aʔ) here!" [Krauss 1982: 86].

    Unfortunately, pages with the entry "a1" are missing from the available draft copy of [Krauss 1970] (the vowel section of the dictionary simply begins with the entry "a2"; in the same way a1 is not included into the English-Eyak index at the end of the dictionary). This missing root 'to go (sg.)' is explicitly added by Krauss in the preface [Krauss 1970: 3 (p. i)]; there are also internal references to a1 'to go' in the text, e.g. [Krauss 1970: 1505].

    Cf. the verb for 'to go' (and apparently 'to come'?), used with pl. subj., =ʔaʔčʼ, which is likewise missing from the dictionary and added in [Krauss 1970: 3 (p. i)] (note that =k=ɬ=ʔaʔčʼ means 'to stand (pl. subj.)', see sub 'stand'). A second root 'to go / to come', used with pl. animate subj., is =qʰah (a defective verb, attested only in active imperfective and imperative) [Krauss 1970: 1495].

    Cf. also the euphemistic expression =lǝ=tǝ=ʔa 'to wane away, pass, (supply) run out, all die off, disappear, become extinct, come to an end' [Krauss 1970: 2708] with the root =ʔa 'to be/get in position' [Krauss 1970: 2688]. Other euphemistic expressions for 'to die' can be based on the verbal root =ʔya 'to get in situation/move/act restrictedly and/or involuntarily', see [Krauss 1970: 2394].
