Question

After you sent your message, the commander responded with the following message:

Reinforcement of hummingbird squash is in fox light.

What does he mean? Consult the “Navajo Code Talkers' Dictionary” to decode the message.

Answer 1

Reinforcement of hummingbird squadron is in flight.

Answer 2

During WWII, Navajo code talkers used their native Dine language to encrypt messages for the US Marines. The commander's response means that "reinforcement of hummingbird squadron is in flight." Squash is code for "squadron" and fox light is code for "flight."
