text: what is an anient word for big turtles? could be latin, ancient egyptian, or navajo. i dont care. navajo:  tsisteel  note there is no key on our keyboard for the last "l" in tsisteel.  it is not written as an l but as l with a slanted crossbar and sloped downward on the left, almost looking like our small t except the crossbar slopes downward on the left and just straight down no bottom plate hooking over on the bottom like a t just straight.  it means large turtle.
