I'm curious as to whether there were any Russian inputs into Tlinkit;
what struck me with the example left un-snipped above is that it's the
Jargon-English word for booze that's found up there; rather than a
derivation of, say, "vodka".  Was the Russian America Company less
forthcoming with unholy liquor than more southerly traders, perhaps?
