solemai etymology?

[David Robertson]

Is there an established etymology for the word "solemai" that shows up in 
some Jargon vocabularies?  It means "cranberry".  

I'm struck by the frequency of a morpheme "mai" meaning "berries" in some 
BC Athabaskan languages, but there aren't a whole lot of Athabaskan words 
known in Jargon!  You don't suppose the main source of cranberries in the 
lower Columbia region was in Kwalhioqua - Clatksanie territory, do you?
