Traditional Lakota time expressions centered on the changing moons, seasonal changes, and the four important times of day (dawn, noon, sunset, and midnight). Time references to days of the week and the clock comes out of contact with European immigrants.
The seasons, which start on the spring equinox, summer solstice, fall equinox, and the winter solstice were described as times of birth in that every season is a new birth. The word etu designates time.

The verbal doesn’t play on my IPad so I can’t hear the correct pronunciation. Bummer
Anything that can be done to preserve this language has my support
