Derivation: From the Wintun word yuki, meaning “stranger;” secondarily,
“bad” or “thieving.”
A vocabulary of the Yuki tribe is given by Gibbs in vol. III of
Schoolcraft’s Indian Tribes, 1853, but no indication is afforded that
the language is of a distinct stock.
Powell, as above cited, appears to have been the first to separate the
language.
