Mika mitlite delate.  You are correct.

Ahha...  Yes....

kakwa, still,

Stotekin-tukamonuk sinamokst-tahtlum pe lakit, pi elip kapa ukuk mitlite
mamook ikpooie kopet kopa stone pe killapi.  Eighteen-hundred
seventy-four and earlier is close enough for rock and roll.

Kah mamook ikt-mokst chinuk buk?  King Chautsh Illahee?  Where were these
one or two CJ books made?  England?

"The Canoe and the Saddle."   >Las-wawa, hayash tIlxam dreht tIki ukuk
buk.  They say that book was very popular.

Nika wawa nika naha ... pe nanitch yaka milite "Canim pe Lasell"  I'll
ask Mom ... or see if she has "The Canoie and Saddle"
