@Habst: Seeing as Africa doesn't have wolves or coyotes, my guess is that these are not citable as distinct senses — were you actually able to find three uses for each? (Also concerned about some of the vocab that anon's been adding, but I don't have time to go through it...) —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 05:00, 29 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

hi metaknowledge, i noticed that wolves are often referred to as mbwa mwitu in articles like this. categorizing coyotes is tougher -- i see they're named as mbwa-nyika on the swahili wikipedia but wasn't able to find that phrase in enough other sources, so i decided to remove that from this entry for now. thanks for double checking. --Habst (talk) 11:44, 29 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
