Barbara - would you send it to me, too, please?

If possible, I'd also add it to my website on the "placenames and tribal
names" page I've never completed, with your credit, of course, but mostly
I'd just like to see it to try and locate any I may not have known about
before.

By the way, there's a placename on the Chilcotin Plateau adjacent to the
Warner Range I have my suspicions about - the Dil-Dil Plateau; I've
wondered if this is a variation on "tsil-tsil", since the starlight up
there would be quite amazing.........it's an interesting formation; a flat
table-land on a shoulder of the range, flat as a board with a few small
lakes just above treeline by only a few feet; looks to be about 20 square
miles, way out in the middle of godforsaken nowhere......near Graveyard
Valley, where the big battle between the Chilcotins and Lillooets was
fought........
