This week's CJ quiz:K!Ilapay-wawa khapa uk #makwst

[David Robertson]

Klahowya, Terry,

Nayka dret wawa:  Wik nayka kEmtEks!  Pi nayka tEmtEm, wik uk yaxwEl Pat
Kanim chaku khapa Chinuk Wawa -- tL'unEs khapa Selish (Sdohobsh).  Hayu
tayms nayka nanich yaka kakwa "Patkanim", mayka kEmtEks, kapit ixt wa.

(Summary:  I don't know the answer to this one!  But I think the name Pat
Kanim is not from Chinook Jargon; maybe from Snohomish Salish instead.
Often I've seen it written Patkanim, you know, as a single word.)

Even more confusing is the fact that his ?nephew was ?"Skookum George"!
