A Navajo linguist had written a treatise about verbs in various Athabaskan 
languages and a thesis about comparative vocabulary in Cherokee and North 
Iroquoian languages. Of Muskogean languages, though, she knew nothing. Once 
someone asked her to translate a letter written in Seminole. She 
replied, "It's Creek to me."
