'mula' also = 'machine' #2

[Maria Pascua]

In Makah (southern most Nootkan culture group and the only group located in
Washington state), we say  bula for 'machine'.  In our pronunciation; [b]'s
often replace [m]'s in C.J. words so we say 'bula' instead of 'mula'.

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/]
