Klahowya Cory,

Mahshie, maika tsum kopa chee klootsman nem Linda Fink. Nesaika dleam
kopa mahsh Chinook wawa kumtux chako tlate. Hiyu tillikum tikegh iskum
kumtux pe hiyu tillikum alki!

Linda Fink tsum:
"In the Grand Ronde area, the word mamook was never used. They used the
short form mook or moonk. The long form meant to "make" a woman. Whenever
anyone said that in class the Hudson "girls" (in their 80s then) giggled
and explained."

I guess I'll have to be careful what I say in Grand Ronde (ie. I work
hard yesterday - Naika mamook kull talkie sun)
