Henry Zenk has kindly corrected me on a message I posted to the List on April 2, and has provided a good transcription of the CJ word, so I'll try again: EULACHON < Chinook Jargon ulXan (X = back-x) (H. Zenk) or directly from its etymon Chinookan uLXan (u with acute accent, L = barred ell, X = back-x) (Hdbk. N. Amer. Indians VII.50). Alan
