The construction of the language doesn't provide an equivalent to the English windy, which is a state of being. Rather, the various words are descriptive of where wind is coming from or what the wind is doing. Depending on the area (Inuktitut is spoken in various dialects over a vast geographical area) the various words that come fairly close are anuri (the wind), anurraujaq (squall or sudden wind), ittulijaappuq (the wind moans), nakkialivuq (come from afar or strong wind), and my favorite, nakituinnaraaqpuq (wind from every direction)...
Clanad, I suspect vato has a flatulent Husky and is looking for an appropriate name for it :-)
It's what they feed those Huskies, gen2... as a child I remember a radio and later a television program named Challenge of the Yukon. It featured Sargent Preston of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and his favorite dog, Yukon King... The good "Mounty" was forever saying "... mush you huskies, mush!" I suspect the 'mush' produces the flatulence of which you speak...
