eel/lamprey morphemes

[Tina Wynecoop]

Hello:

Is there a Chinookan word AND a Chinook Jargon word for the eel/lamprey 
species?


My friend is especially interested in receiving the jargon morphemes.
He has the Spokan word/spelling.

I am aware that there has been much discussion on the listserv about 
'oolichans" and its  variant spellings, and I am thinking that that word 
refers to the herring rather than the eel.

I was especially interested in one scene in a French movie I watched a few 
nights ago, Sequins, where the cook prepares an eel for dinner by placing 
the eel's mouth on a hook and pulls the skin off like it was a sausage 
having the casing removed in one piece.  Wonder what eel tastes like?

Thanks you,
Tina
Spokane,WA
