Most commonly Inuit tales of the Tornit are linked to past Inuit encounters with the Norse Greenlanders…Mowat, etc, etc.

Why do 10 ft or 12 ft hairy hominids can’t be Sasquatches? Maybe they are just taller Sasquatch. The shortest human in record is Chandra Bahadur from Nepal, he is only 54,6cm tall (21.5 in tall) and the tallest human ever was Robert Wadlow from the USA. He measured an staggering 2,72m (8ft11in tall!). If humans can have such different heights and Sasquatch is so closely related to us, we’d expect them to have some variation in size as well. Now, I realize some huge plaster casts of 4 toed hominids exist, suggestng a different species, but a 4 toed hominid must be a hoax. Or else it’s not a hominid.

It’s good to hear all of the different terminology for the creatures according to language and tribe. In Japan too, even within the same language, different regions have their own names for various creatures, known, unknown, or mythical yokai.

I find these variations fascinating and thank Loren for posting this.

Tornit = It sounds like Finnish. Because “tornit” is Finnish word “towers”.
