Derived from the verb {DuD} "mix, stir", {DuDwI'} hasn't been used in a
canon sentence but was described in KGT (pp.97-98):
The stick used for stirring in a {'un} ("pot") is usually called a {DuDwI'}
("mixer"), though sometimes the term {'un naQ} ("pot cane") is heard. If
the end of the {DuDwI'} is flattened out, paddlelike, the device may also
be called a {ngawDeQ}.
