<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I believe that the Chehalis / Salish
component of Chinuk Wawa is integral to it. I would argue against it being a
later addition. Chinookans have always intermarried with neighboring Salish
speakers and in most cases have been wholly bilingual with them. This includes
my family history (it also includes my wife’s family as well as seemingly every
other Chinook I know). You are right to point out that Salish languages (<st1:place
w:st="on">Lower Chehalis</st1:place>, Tillamook, etc.) were the last of these
languages spoken by our communities, but just to say it, the communities still
maintain their Chinookan identity. The Chinook vs. Chehalis distinction is a
product of geography. The linguistic distinction is a little more blurry,
especially in more recent years with the degradation of our languages. aLqi

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Although the graphy used is far from the modern
phonetic orthography, and, as the author mentions, it contains words from
different dialects (Chinook proper, Clatsop, probably also Wakiakum) and was
published in an unrevised form, for someone for me it is nevertheless useful,
to find etymologies for Jargon words.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>So, for instance, now I know that iLEGwa “mud
turtle” (Jacobs’s “Texts in Chinook Jargon”) / ethlagwo “turtle” (“Eula
dictionary”) comes from the Chinook word rendered by Gibbs as it-lá-hwa,
et-lak-hwa “tortoise” [sincerely speaking, because the word was recorded by
John Hudson and his daughter Eula Petite, I suspected first that it might be
Kalapuyan; but then I realized that people, even multilingual, don’t mix up
the several languages they know so readily…].<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>It is true that in this vocabulary Gibbs gives as
Chinook words that in his Dictionary of the Chinook Jargon appear of Chehalis
origin (like for instance sitshum “swim” or tlukutlh “broad”), but this might
be due to the increasing influence of the Chehalis who, if I remember
correctly, assimilated linguistically the last speakers of Lower Chinook.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
