Hi Terry,

It is a long time since last you helped me with a Chinook phrase.  Would
you mind if I asked again?

Ronsdale is publishing a memoir of a Victoria woman.  Somewhere in the
1870s, she recounts the story of an Indian coming to her house to sell
"gumstick"  -- highly resinous wood used for starting fires.  When the
Indian appears, he says "Ick Clune" and holds out the gumstick which he
wants to sell.  I suspect that Ick may mean one, but I have not been able
to figure out "Clune."  Does it refer to the gumstick? or is it some sort
of greeting?  Or?

Any ideas?
