Coytan

Definitions and Usage
Coytan(gender) is a coyotelike gender, and/or a gender connected to coyotes in some way, and/or a gender influenced by a coyote theriotype. Name comes from coyote + its scientific name, Canis latrans. Pronounced coy-tan. Formerly named yōtan(gender) from the Nahuatl word for coyote (coyōtl), the creator changed it because it felt disrespectful to use a word from an indigenous culture.
