on Chukchi Sea coast, E of Cape Sabine and W of mouth of Mutaktuk Creek, 38 mi. NW of Mount Kelly, Arctic Slope
Eskimo name meaning "to file (or rub)" obtained at Point Lay and reported in 1956 by Orth; so called because the shoreward side of the offshore bar is serrated and resembles teeth of a file (Chapman and Sable, 1960, p.52).
