klootchman

[Jim Holton]

Hi Dave,

Wik Nayka kumtux pus "klootchman" uk "slam-dunk".  Khapa George Shaw
yaka puk, yaka wawa pus "klootchman" yaka chako khapa uk
Nuu-chah-Nulth/Tokwaht "klutsma." Alixti "rounding"?

I don't know if "klootchman" is a slam dunk.  In George Shaw's book, he
says that "klootchman" is from the Nuu-Chah-Nulth/Tokwaht "klutsma."
Maybe its rounding?

Qahta mEsayka tEmtEm?

Jim
