A non-CJ "tyhee"

[Dave Robertson]

A common alterate spelling of the word for 'chief' in Jargon is <tyhee>.  
The following is from a BC government website about Tyhee Lake Provincial 
Park:  

"In 1866 the Trans-Atlantic Cable was successfully completed and 
consequently the Collins Telegraph Line was abandoned only two years after 
it began. Little remains of the Telegraph Line, but one of the legacies of 
it was the original name for the lake, Maclure, named after one of the 
original surveyors of the Collins Telegraph Line. The name was changed to 
the present name, Tyhee, which means fish in the native Gitxsan language."
