Chapter 7 endnote 30, from How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett.
Some context is:
Utka Eskimos have no concept of “Anger.”
The Utka do have a word for "Anger," but it's not clear what the referent concept is. On one reading, the Utka concept has similarities to the English language concept "Anger."[1][2] But in another interpretation, the concept is more like "Childish, Dangerous Behavior."[3]
