chinook wawa word for hawk

[Francisc Czobor]

Hi Scott,

the Chinook Wawa words for "hawk" that I've found in various sources are:
- shak-shak (Gill 1887, Tate 1889?, Downing&Clarke 1898 - looks suspiciously similar to chak-chak "bald eagle", isn't it)?
- shakirk (Anderson 1857);
- shakir (Anonymous - "Old employee,  formerly of the Hudson Bay Company");
-  skakairk (Hutchings&Rosenfield 1860, Hibben&Carswell 1862, Macdonald 1863)
- skaikeek (quoted by Don Boucher in a message to this List posted on 14 Dec. 1998))
- hawk (Shaw 1909)

I hope it helps.

Francisc
