Hell...was...Re: Chinook Jargon and environmental hazards

[David Robertson]

Klahawiam, kanawi-klaksta,

Colin's note reminds me of another way to say 'hell', which is 'kikuli
paya' (the down-below fire).  In Thompson Salish of interior BC there are
similar ways of expressing 'hell'.  They translate literally as 'down-
below fire' and 'bad place', respectively.  The first is a Catholic term,
maybe based on CJ phrasing; the second is Protestant.  Make of it what you
will!
