NOTE: The generic name
for birds is FOUCHI; fish
are NANNI. TCHOUKFE
generally means mutton or
rabbit; if it is mutton, you
add the color of the
animal. The same is done
for pork and squirrel (?),
which one calls by the
same appellation
CHOUKA; only it is for
the “rat of wood”
(squirrel?) that one adds
the color.
