Tupik. An Inuit summer dwelling.

[elliemay1]

Well done clairex

[rabbitlover]

Why tupik? If it was tupic, that's picture without re, askew i.e. anagram, but can't see tupik

[elliemay1]

//tupic - a hut or tent made of animal skins used by Inuits in the Canadian Arctic as a summer dwelling (origin: Inuit)//

Can anyone give me a link for the definition of a Tupic. I can find no reference to this alternative spelling of Tupik/Tupiq

[elliemay1]

^ It's in the link that I have provided above

[Clairex]

It is indeed mentioned in this link but this is someone's blog and it could be mis-transcribed. When I've tried to verify it with The OED the dictionary says uh oh. I need a definitive source of this spelling i. e. from a recognised dictionary but I think I've tried them all. I am now emailing Susie Dent for verification-she should know!!

Let us know what you find out, Claire
