daughter, second, birth name

wi-na (winą́)  

second girl

Speaker - Odestine McWatters

   

* This differs with the JOD/RR entries, Odestine says wi-na (winá) for second daughter.  One of Maude Supernaw’s great granddaughters was nicknamed wi-na (winá), as she was the second daughter in that family.  When Maude was asked how to say second daughter by her father, she said wi-na (winá).
