The writing system created in 1885 by Father Adrien-Gabriel Morice, inspired by the Northwest Territories version of what ultimately originated as the Cree syllabics created by the Reverend James Evans in 1840. This writing system, once widely used by Dakelh people, has seen some resurgence in artistic and symbolic use, e.g. in tattoos and signage, but is not in regular use by fluent speakers.

Etymology: Literally, ‟frog feet”, consisting of dulkw'ah ‟frog”, q.v., and ke ‟foot”, q.v..
