"Cayuse" in Chilcotin language (Athabaskan)

[David Robertson]

[From http://www.fonv.ca/articles/wildhorses.html.........notice the
similarity with the Moses-Columbia Salish name for the
Cayuse, "qayus"........Dave R]

"?Elegesi is the Tsilhqot’in name for Eagle Lake Henry, and Qiyus is
Tsilhqot’in for cayuse. Eagle Lake Henry is the English language name for a
well known Tsilhqot’in forebear of many Xeni Gwet’in. He ranched
extensively in and around the Brittany Triangle and pre-empted the land
upon which the FONV research cabin now sits. Cayuse is the word for horse,
or mustang, derived from the name of a now vanished tribe of natives who
inhabited the present day north west United States."
