The apache word for bear is " maba", but it is also translated as sŭsh by Edward S.Curtis in his book The North American Indian, the glossary of which provides excellent translations from English to Apache, Ficarilla, and Navaho. Related translations are nepotonje which means bear-watcher, and shozlitzogue which is the name Yellow-Bear.
