Snus

[Francisc Czobor]

Dear Carol,
 
As far as I know, the CJ word for orca whale (aka killer whale) is kakowan (from Nootka kakawun); in Puget Sound CJ the orca is called also kwanis (otherwise a generic term for whale, of Salishan origin).

Does anyone have a good CJ word for an Orca Whale, and also for an Orca Pod. I'm trying to translate a children's book. 
Hayu masi.

One of the words for "tobacco" that we've discussed here in the past 11 (!!)
years is "snoose".  So I was amused in an I-just-received-a-secret-message
way, when I saw advertisements at the 7-11 store for Camel's latest product
"Snus".  Smokeless, spitless tobacco.

No relation to the CJ word k'aynuL.  :)
