LhaXayEm; qhata mEsayka ukuk pulakli?  Ayaq-ayaq, tunus wam IlI7i hay
chaku alta.

I would like to add my voice in support of your idea, Dave:  It would be
really interesting to have a comprehensive collection of as many as
possible of the innumerable scattered ChInuk quotations that are in print.
This would make a fine study, academically, and a very fun read, for the
rest of us.

Paired with contemporary Grand Ronde versions of each quote, it'd be a
superb textbook, too.

LhaXayEm,
Dave
