Chinuk Wawa word for "rules" as opposed to "laws"

[David Robertson]

This is another nice expression I've found in Kamloops Wawa.  When they're
discussing rules of an organization you voluntarily join or form, they
say "kakwa lo" (=like laws).

When they talk about actual laws which you have no choice but to obey, the
word is "lo".
