Thread Name: Folklore: How do you pronounce 'coyote'
Subject: RE: Folklore: How do you pronounce 'coyote'
Growin' up in Oklahoma, we always said "kai-ote" when talkin' 'bout the critter. With some new-age-y city-folks referencing the Trickster totem, it's "ko-YO-tay".
Then there's those who just call 'em "yodel-puppies".
