Sahaptin words in CW

[David Robertson]

Hi, 

One of you asked off-list about Sahaptin words in Chinuk Wawa.

Does anyone here have a list of them?

E.H. Thomas indicates supposed sources for each CW word in his book.

There are a number of words that may come from an unclear source.  I seem 
to recall k'wayts "nine" being possibly from Sahaptin or Chinookan.  And 
Jacobs' sketch of NW Sahaptin grammar (page 285 note 40) has ats "sister", 
which I had suspected was Chinookan.

I'd be interested in looking through a comprehensive Sahaptin dictionary, 
if there is one.

Maybe Noel Rude would be interested in these questions.

Klahawiam.  Naika nim:
