<div>In Shaw's English-Chinook part, among the equivalents for "swan" is also "cocumb", a strange word that looked to me as a sort of misspelling of something. But now I discovered that it's from some Salishan language. In the Vocabularies of Coast Salish Tribes (E.S. Curtis: The North American Indian, Vol. 9, page 184) there is: "Shoalwater Bay" (a Lower Chehails dialect): ko-kom; Quinault: ska-kum.</div> <div> </div> <div>Francisc</div><p>
