Is "lahach" a Shuswap word?

[David Robertson]

In a shorthand advertisement for a fur buyer, the following kinds of furs 
are listed:

"tlus mawich skin, bivir, martin, bir, lahach, kanawi ikta tlus skin"

I understand almost all of this:

"good deer skin, beaver, marten, bear, LAHACH, all kinds of good furs".

What's LAHACH?  Maybe it's Shuswap?  It resembles a common Chinuk Wawa 
word that Le Jeune uses, lahash "axe / hatchet", but it seems to refer to 
an animal.
