Kabloona [< Esk. kablunā(k), pl. kablunet person with big eyebrows] Arctic

• n. a European; white man.

  See also: Kadloona  

  • The term occurs in a host of spellings (Kablunak, Kablunat, Kablunan, Kablunait, and, older, Cabluna(k), etc.) resulting from the English-speaking writers' transcriptions of various regional and grammatical variants; plural forms vary, the word being uninflected usually, but sometimes taking English -s, and, less often, Latin -ae.
