Im getting a middle name and my creek animal is a tree frog so if anyone knows how to say tree frog in creek that would be great. If you know how to say daughter too?

Kote for a small frog - just past tadpole
Kute for frog in general.
Close enough to Taivo's cho'ti' to show language relation.
Don't know tree frog.
eccuste for a man's daughter
eccusttakuce for a woman's daughter.
I know nothing of Creek kinship terms, so I have no idea of the distinction or how it applies.
ADDED: After this question, got hooked on finding more. Came across this site with Creek dictionary. Might help you.

I don't have a Muskogee dictionary, but in Chickasaw it is cho'ti'. Maybe that will help.
