There is no simple or direct translation in the Lakota language spoken by Oglala Sioux.
The verb kte (k-tay) can mean to kill (or to count coup without killing); kat'iyeyA can mean to shoot someone dead; kasotA is to wipe out, exterminate; wasotA is to kill by cutting; wosotA is to kill by cutting.
Adding the prefix wa- to a verb can make it an agent noun: wakte = kills people (or I have killed people, or I killed him/her), wakat'iyeyA = shoots people dead, wakasotA = wipes people out and so on.
