Nanoq has an irregular ergative? How common is that?

Vanga:

I have not figured out seasons and months and stuff, so I'll use 'today' instead, but I do have a word for winter, so that one is no problem.
The phrase 'black bear' is redundant and wouldn't really occur in Vanga, as the word 'black' is already part of the word for bear itself.

I actually want to try doing this in Latin, to practice a bit.

Ursus.
Hic ursus niger est.
Ursis caudae paulae est.
Sensus ursorum auris et nasi egregii sunt.
Ursi in spelaeo per hiemem dormint.
Ursi baccas et radices comedent.
Ursi coque pisces comedent.
Ursi fremere possunt.
Ursi negri current admodum celere.
Dui scymnorum ursini oriverunt in Ianuario.
Quandoque homines ursos negros venant.
Homines carnem ursorum pro alimento utunt.

Chinuk Wawa

Disclaimer: I am awful at spelling in Wawa. I'm borrowing the conventions that my friends use when using Wawa over electronic media: + is a lateral fricative, ? is a glottal stop, H is aspiration, E is a schwa.

Where the meaning of compounds is surprising/unclear, I've put them in parentheses in the gloss.

itsxut[1].
black_bear

itsxut ukuk.

ayaq itsxut +aska hala[2].

makwst itsxut +aska chaku-tenas kHapa ixt-mun.

once and once (sometimes) person 3p go-for-see (hunt) black_bear

tilixam +aska mekHmek itsxut yaka i+wali.
person 3p eat bear 3s meat

1. "itsxut" is specifically a black bear, so I just translated all of the "bears" as "black bears".

2. I don't actually know how to talk about growling, so I used the closest thing I do know, which is more like "yell/shout".
