Where best to say, "lhush" -- Was: Chinook Jargon word for Donkey?

[Tony Johnson]

A good confirmation of (just now) understanding it is: 

"chxi alta nayka kEmtEks"

lhush alta nayka kEmtEks, mahsi.

p.s. is that a strange place to say "lhush"? or better to say,

"alta nayka lhush kEmtEks"


I sure would like to put Grande Ronde words into my word lookup tool as
I feel it would greatly improve my spelling...will work on it...
