Eerily like "chapeau" - but too early for French input.

camas.  Maybe tsee+camas (sweet food)

Seems to be the same as "cha-ac" - i.e. "chuck".  Maybe there were
different ways of pronouncing what most lexicons give as "chuck", depending
on whether it was a lake, river, etc. that was referred to.

hiyu - "ten" was perhaps used to refer to any large number, as theorized (I
think) by Gibbs or Shaw....

Potlatch

Winapi - "soon" - but there may be some change of meaning in the years
after Mozino's list.

Kapswalla

Seems to be some kind of combination of "kah" (place, where) and "ko" (to
arrive)
