The words for chair and saddle are almost identical ; they are derived

 they are derived from tiki, to eat. 



Of the different forms of optic glasses, the Ute Indian seems to have

 see, to look. Captain Moss, however, gives nabuninilmp for mirror, the 

 word being derived from buniki (Wenimuche), to look.
