I don't think CW /ma?in/ made it into Nuuchahnulth. The kinds of
typical mills you find in the area are in NCN usually referred to by
*what* the make, adding the suffix for "make" or "device for". Like
/piipaqiil~/ "pulp mill" (paper+make)
/chin'yakWiil~/ "shingle mill" (shingle+make)
[note: also /chin'yak/ is a loanword, it's interesting that English
/-ngl-/ is reflected by /-n'y-/ with a glottalized Y, so they heard
something like /?ing?l/]
