In the Algonkin or Algonquin language the verb "to be intelligent" is nibwaka or kaketawenindam. This and many other related languages use mainly verb forms rather than nouns so there is no exact equivalent of "intelligence".
The Iroquoian languages also use verb forms, such as Cayuga sawayęnhesgǫ = you are intelligent, clever or educated.
Similarly, the Siouan languages prefer to use verb forms rather than nouns. The Lakota word waslolyA means "to be knowledgeable, to know things, to be bright, to be smart, to know people". The verb ksapA means "to be wise, smart or prudent"; the verb iwayupikA means "to be ingenious or clever in doing something".
