I also got Kash _poya_ '(a trickster-type animal)' < your .... 'coyote'
IIRC, and _ñuña_ 'sticky resin' < your .... 'pine resin'.  These were from a
story that involved coyote, I think, juggling his eyeballs, or something
like that. It also produced the Kash word for 'juggle' _findoro_, but I
think that's a priori. :-)))))
