Kanawi-Laksta,

I do believe that "tEqwla" is clearly Chinookan.  Kathlamet has "a'qwla"
for "nut," and "tqxwla" for "nuts" from Dell's material. (Thanks
Dell).--T.J.

About taqwla (or: tEqwla):

t- appears to be the Chinookan 3/pl n/g prefix.  It is recorded as a
Chinookan word:  e.g. Clackamas itEqwla. Sapir didn't record Kalapuyan
that I know of, but did record Wishram, which is close to Clackamas. 
Dell would know.  Henry
