'uleeki

Luiseño Alternative forms lui uluqui Spanish-influenced spelling Noun lui noun form lui leekil 2 s poss vulva Usage notes Gerónimo Boscana mistook this term as a synonym (used among the inland/mountain Luiseño) of lui cuit; following him, several other works on native terms for "two-spirits"e.g. Will Roscoe's Living the Spirit erroneously included it as such. References Chinigchinich (Chi-ñićh-ñich) (1933), page 170, says: “To distinguish this detested race,” Fr. Boscana tells us, “at this mission of San Juan Capistrano they were called 'Cuit,' in the mountains 'Uluqui,' and in other parts they were known as 'Coias.'” [...] The phrase "in the mountains" is to be taken with the word that follows it, "Uluqui." Boscana means to say that in the mission dialect culeado is called kuyt, and in the inland dialect "Uluqui." The latter is for 'uleeki, your vulva, second person singular possessive of leekil, vulva, and is not the inland (Temescal-Elsinore) dialectic form for culeado at all.
