Pigs

[Anthony Grant]

I forgot to mention that they also occur in Alsea and Siuslaw, as
/tawayo/ (the first Europeans on that coast were explorers such as Juan
de Heceta).  Other languages of the area used a form of Chiook Jargon
/kyutan/, itself a derivative of an older word for dog.

Allan's article was published in Anthropological Linguistics 32
(1990):187-210.  It's entitled "A European Loanword of Early Date in
Eastern North America.  He says it's the most wide-spread loanword on
the
continent.
