I thought about that too, but in the languages we surveyed
there were no such instances. Nice to know that there
actually are languages that do that. :)

I've thought about doing that with Rinya. The Nakiltipkaspimak
might do it too, but I don't think the Seimi suddenly will
change all the names of their animals (it's a posteriori).

Obvious ObConlang: Is there a connection between the names
of the animals and the sounds they make in your respective
conlangs? :)
