nuppunat, v. i. to die, Eccl. 3, 2; 1 Cor. 

 !t, 15 ( nuppunat, C. 237). The literal or 

 liriiuitive meaning of this verb is per- 

 hap.s to go away, or, rather, to sleep. It 

 is probably allied to nuppoh, a wing or 

 wings. The Indian languages abound 

 in euphemisms for expressing death, 

 "so terrible is the King of Terrors to all 

 natural men. ' ' "They abhor to mention 

 the dead by name, . . and amongst 

 States, the naming of their dead Sa- 

 chims" is one ground of war, R. W. 161.
