I can't find anything on the web about the tribe of manassah, other than that it was one of the 12 tribes of Israel. but somehow i don't think they're the same tribe. maybe it's something abou the name squaking battle carp.

I just got my Vigil this past weekend. I'm now Klamachpin Lippoe, Quiet Wise One. Two of my friends who were in my Vigil class are now Takachsin Wuliechsin (Leader who speaks with talent) and Wuski Takachsin Wulelendamoagan (Young leader with dry humor)

actually, you wouldn't want to pronounce everything in in lenape as if it were german. German pronounes this letter "w" as if it were a "v." In lenape "w" has a differnt sound. Run your tongue along the roof of your mouth, notice that you feelthe hard palate then the soft palate; the distinction will be important in a minute. When we pronounce "y" in english, we raise the back of the tongue towards the hard palate and keep our lips unrounded, when we pronounce "w" we raise a point further back on the tongue towards the soft palate and round our lips. The ;etter "w" in lenape indicates a sound made by raising the back part of the tongue towards the soft palate to make a "w" in english, but the lips are kept very wide open as if making the english "y." The lenapre "ch" is the same as the famous german sound. Raise the back of the tongue towards the soft palate once again, this time as if making the english "k." Don't close the gap between tongue and palate quite all the way, allow enogh room to let air get out and create friction. The last pronunciation oddity in lenape is "L." It's the same as the "ll" in Welsh. Put the tounge in the posistion to make an english "l" and just breath out, don't let your vocal chords start to vibrate as they do during the english "l." Just make the "l" position and say the english sound "h."
