Howdy folks,

People, please help me.

How do you write "friend" in GR chinook?

How do you say "sand" in GR chinook?

That word tilixEm is a five dollar word (too formal.)

When we went south, we began to feel a little down.
Many new big houses were on the ground. We couldn't see the
ocean behind them. Those houses are ugly. Houses cover the
river mouths.

Those people who built houses don't have a Bible; they build on
sand, not rock. B^)

One good thought, the ocean will break those houses in time.
