Notes

Refers primarily to traditional Indian doctors/medicine men. May also refer to modern doctors, or a loanword such as lotoorr (Spanish doctor) could be used.

"E" before "y" sounds like "ee" as in "Eat". However, this word is also spelled kusiyaay in the Barona dictionary.

The ku- suggests that this word was originally derived from a verb.
