Pidgin English in CJ: another example from KW

[David Robertson]

>From KW #12, 21 February 1892, page [2], a piece titled <Le Menier, son
fils et l'ane>:

"Ixt man iaka mitlait mula: iaka
tiki sillim ukuk mula..."

"A certain man owned a mill: he
wanted to sell this mill..."

We can add <sillim> 'to sell' to the short but interesting list of pidgin
English words in Kamloops Wawa.  Another that I remember is <katshim> 'to
catch'.
