French-Chinook list

[janilta]

Hello,

Hmm, no idea for this 'empouillé' (=> enpooy) (perhaps actually
'epouiller' ie 'to take away the lice' ??), nor for (la main =>
leh'ma/la mes-tir; la médecine => la-met-sin /) 'la-mes-tir'...
ab-ba =>"eh bien"; quite likely, in the usual Fr. pronunciation, the 'i'
is mute thus more like 'e-ben'.
I think we discussed already the following (double origin) :
mousquet => mooskeh (usually "musket"); (je) suppose => se-spoze (spose)
('suppose/supposons que' may begin a sentence, 'je' is useless here).

Regards, Yann
