CHINOOK Digest - 10 Jun 2004 to 11 Jun 2004 (#2004-67)

[Leanne Riding]

Thanks Tony. These were the parts which gave me trouble:

1) "bEt na Tu7an." I heard "but not doin'."
8) "hayu pos." I heard "hayuk wos" and wondered why it wasn't "hayu pos."
2) "aLqi." I heard something like "OSKgee," both times.
3) "alta." I heard something like "AL'e."
4) "yawa'." Puzzled me for a while, but figured it out.
5) "khapa." What's that?
6) "nixwa tsa." I heard something like "n'KLA n'sa."
7) "k'oy7." This word is entirely new to me -- I think.

It's interesting to hear how soft the hard sounds really are. What's
written as 't' and 'k', to my ears sounds like 'd' and 'g', at least
when it's in the middle of the word.
