Ch. sources for words that entered CJ", appears also skwayoh = "[Western gray] squirrel".</div> <div> </div> <div>But the most frequent CJ word for "squirrel" is (s)kwiskwis, which, if I shoud trust in Gibbs, Hale and Shaw, is of Chinookan origin (more precisely: from Cathlamet, according to Gibbs).</div> <div> </div> <div>But there is also another word for squirrel in CJ: skudee (Anderson 1857) or skudzo (Hutchings&Rosenfield 1860, Hibben&Carswell 1862, Macdonald 1863).</div> <div>Is it possible that this skudee/skudzo (or what its "correct" form may be) comes from Upper Chehalis skwayoh ?</div>
