Voiceless lateral fricative

[Leanne Riding]

That reminds me, Le Jeune's Chinook Rudiments of 1924 had some
additional shorthand for consonants. They were not in his earlier
books that I know of.

Le Jeune, J.M.R., "Chinook Rudiments." Kamloops Wawa, No. 1739 (3
May 1924)
Page 5, Column 2, under the heading "Consonants."
Web: http://chinookjargon.home.att.net/ljcr24.htm (Jeffrey Kopp's
website)

Consonants:
__ : h, always aspirate,
never silent.
__ : kh, guttural, explosive.
__ : h-l, separate.
__ : hl, combined.
__ : lh, wet l, lla, lya*.
__ : l-h, separate.
__ : h-k, separate.
__ : kr, an explosive
articulation.
__ : a very soft r, or
an imitation, heard in
some native languages.
__ : h.h. a duplication
of the articulation, but a
lighter one than usual,
can be acquired only by
practice.
__ . th: in english th**.
same in some instances
in the native languages
sound as tya*, tha, thye
needs to be heard

Notes:
__ the shorthand character
*joined by a mark above
**underlined

Pardon me for being clueless, but what would the modern terminology
be for these consonants? Also I was wondering if Dave R. knew if
they had been used in the Kamloops Wawa in earlier decades or was
this a later addition?
