::::It IS also the case in Navajo. In Navajo, anything can be said in many ways, and the fact that descriptions rather than specific nouns are used for most things is the main reason why. When we needed to have a word for planet in Navajo, some chose to use the word kéyah, but that just means land/country: the eight "lands" that circle the sun (obviously not a very good choice). Others used the more natural Navajo solution to come up with jóhonaaʼéí yináádáłígíí (the one that is walking around the sun) and kéyah yádiłhił biiʼ hólónígíí (the land that exists in the jet-black sky). But there are many other ways to say it, all equally valid.
