Tahlklie and Polaklie

[phil cash cash]

I get the impression that [po-] in Kathlamet Chinook may be associated
with "darkness" as in [igoponem] 'it grew dark'.  If this is correct
then you have [-laklie] to account for.

po-laklie
tah-lkie

The morphological suffix stem form may then be [-lkie] which can be
derived from [-laklie].  Just browsing now, I am not sure what this stem
may be.

This is just my impression, wext,

phil cash cash
cayuse/nez perce

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?
