This post doesn't really belong into this group, but I let it through, because I can answer it.
My dictionary of Ulirnaisigutiit has the word: kipitsiti ‘cross-cut saw’, kippaq ‘an object that has been cut’, kipijuq ‘who cuts himself, is cut (by a cutting object, a saw), one who is cut at present’, kipivaa ‘he cuts across it, splits it’, kipput ‘object, s.t. for cutting’.

Could you provide the exact title of that reference work ?
