Tahlklie and Polaklie

[Mike Cleven]

Klahowya konaway tillikums.

Editing (well, actually reformatting) some pages tonight and happened
across "tahlklie" (yesterday) and "polaklie" (evening, night, darkness)
and couldn't helpt but guess that they're related; I'm wondering what
the exact etymology is the "-klie" ending and the "tahl-" and "pola-"
bits.  Is this Chinookan?

Tomolla is of course CJ for "tomorrow"; but was there another word,
perhaps a "-klie" word, for "tomorrow" in the source language?
